Jack Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Whilst we were out on our chippy and pub road run last night I decided that it would be a good idea to check the tire pressures :blush: Most of them - well all of the 8 rear tires were around the 30 PSI mark, how severe would this effect its running efficiency? Cheers Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Theoretically it would increase the fuel consumption and it will also cause excess tyre wear, the tyre will also run hotter which can lead to a blowout and if it's a front tyre that blows it could be catastrophic. Incidentally you should always check your tyre pressures when cold as the pressure increases with heat generated when driving therefor giving false readings.
