How often should the tire pressure be checked?
Mechanics (different vehicle systems)
Explanation
To keep the **tires in good condition** and ensure the **safety of the vehicle**, it is essential to check the **tire inflation pressure** **once or twice a month**. This check should be done **when the tires are cold**, that is, before starting to drive. This is because, when cold, the pressure measurement will be more accurate.
- **Incorrect pressure**: If the pressure is lower than recommended, the tire can heat up, deform, and wear out faster, in addition to increasing fuel consumption and the risk of accidents.
- **Excessive pressure**: If the pressure is higher than recommended, the tire will have less contact with the ground, which reduces grip and can cause vibrations in the vehicle.
Therefore, it is crucial to perform this check regularly to avoid problems and ensure safe driving.
