B. REGULAR MAINTENANCE INFLATION I. The Pressure recommended for any model is carefully calculated to give a satisfactory ride, stability, steering thread wear, tyre life and resistance to bruises. Check tyre pressures when tyres are cold (after • vehicle set for a 3 hours or more or driven less than a 1 mile). Check the tyre pressure & condition after every • 15 days or before any extended trip including spare wheel. Correct tyre pressure is necessary to give the • best combination of riding comfort, handling, tyre life and better fuel efficiency. It is normal for tyre pressure to increase when • the tyres become hot during driving. Do not bleed or reduce tyre pressure after driving. Bleeding reduces the “Cold Inflation Pressure”. Recommended tyre pressures are: INFLATION TIPS. Never “bleed” or reduce air pressures when • tyres are hot. Make sure all tyre valves are equipped with • valve caps to keep the dirt and moisture away. Under inflation or overloading creates • excessive deflection and hence heat, which can lead to faster tyre wear and premature failures. This could result in vehicle instability causing damage to property, serious injury or death. Proper inflation optimizes tyre life and saves • fuel also. Higher than recommended pressure can cause • 1. Hard ride 2. Tyre brushing or carcass damage 3. Rapid thred wear at center of tyre Unequal pressure on same axle can cause • 1. Uneven Braking 2. Vehicle pool 3. Reduced Handling 4. Swerve on acceleration Lower than recommended pressure can cause • 1. Tyre Squeals on Turns 2. Hard Steering 3. Rapid and uneven wear on edges of thread 4. Tyre Rim Bruises & rupture 5. Tyre Cord breakage 6. High Tyre temperature 7. Reduced Handling 8.
