Keep down costs with proper tyre pressure
Frequently highlighted as a way to curb fuel consumption, drivers can check for proper tyre pressure more conveniently following the launch of Ring Automative’s new tyre gauges.
Introducing four new digital tyre gauges to the market, Ring Automative say motorists will be able to accurately check their tyre pressure and tread depth at their convenience, before beginning a journey.
Starting from £8.99, the gauges come in various shapes and sizes from the basic keyring RTG4 to the RTG7 which is able to store and program front and rear tyre pressures.
The RTG4, RTG5, RTG6 and RTG7 all come with an easy to read digital display, blue back light and LED directional light for easy location of tyre valve. All but the RTG4 feature a 360⁰ nozzle while RTG6 and RTG7 include a tread depth gauge.
Under inflated tyres can result in the engine having to use more fuel to maintain the same performances as a correctly inflated tyre, due to increased drag and rolling resistance. Correct tyre pressures help to maintain optimum fuel efficiency, reducing CO2 emissions, which is good for the environment and your wallet.
As well as increasing fuel consumption, under inflated tyres can cause rapid tyre wear resulting in costly new tyres.
The legal limit for the minimum depth of tread on tyres is 1.6mm across 75% of the tyre.
