the benefits

Monitoring tyre pressures can help reduce accidents that are attributed to under-inflated tyres…

• 6% of motorway fatalities are attributed to under-inflated tyres.
• Under-inflated tyres cause you to loose grip, stability, and affect the overall handling of the vehicle, but more importantly it will reduce the effectiveness of your brakes and increase stopping distances.
• Tyres can be as much as 50% under-inflated before its notice visually.

Not having a regular tyre pressure checking routine will significantly affect your companies overall profit potential.

• Fuel consumption affects everyone across the board. For example one company we talked to told us they could double their company’s net profit by improving their fuel consumption by just 3%. So you can understand why some company’s are employing people specifically to reduce this crippling cost.
• 5% under-inflation uses 1% more fuel than correct inflation.
• If you don’t have regular tyre pressure checking routine it’s likely that you’re spending an extra 2-4% a year on fuel costs.
• If you’re in business and you rely on the use of vehicles to perform its daily duties this 2-4% figure can be enormous representing significant loss of profits.

You could extend the life of your tyres by up 50% by having a regular tyre pressure checking routine.

• Having a tyre 30% under-inflated can reduce tyre life by as much as 50% and when some tyres are hundreds of pounds each this can add up to significant extra costs.
• If you don’t have a regular tyre pressure checking routine you may be spending an extra 20-30% on tyre costs.
• If your business relies on the use of vehicles then this figure can represent a significant loss in profit. 

Under-inflated tyres are not only dangerous; they can also be against the law.

• Having tyres that are not fit for the purpose they were intended is against the law.
• Fines of up to £2,500.00 per tyre can be issued.
• Penalty points can also be added to your driving licence.
• In some cases your insurance can be invalidated.
