Halfords explained that these frequent changes in temperature - that we're seeing more and more in the UK - since a 10-degree rise or fall in temperature can cause tyre pressure to change by 1-2 PSI.Halfords has issued a safety warning to drivers over their tyre conditions due to fluctuating temperatures this summer.
This can negatively impact vehicle handling, fuel consumption, excessive wear and crucially, increasing braking distances which can in turn lead to accidents. “We want to make sure that all drivers have the knowledge and tools that they need to stay safe on the roads, whatever the weather. For motorists who feel more comfortable with a professional checking their tyres, Halfords offer FREE tyre checks at their garages.Tyre pressure should always be checked on cold tyres so run checks first thing in the morning or once tyres have cooled.
