How offen do you pump your tyre??

[DazeWei]

hmm just curious how offen do you ppl pump ya tyre

 

I pump like once every 3 month. Am i too kiasu ??

[Lass]

usually when the front starts feeling heavy

[Throttle]

experienced rider can feel the difference in steering due to tyre pressure diff.

 

it's good habit to check every now and then.

It doesnt take a long time aand it's easy.

just buy one of those hand held pressure meters

 

For me, i'm also a bit lazy. go by feeling

[eedwinn]

3 months once kiasu??

 

I do it every 2 weeks.

[PaLmEr]

once a week.

Tyres are undoubtedly the most critical safety component on a vehicle, yet most drivers ignore them and assume all is well unless they appear flat – at which point it is too late!

 

 

 

The vital area of grip where rubber meets road affects a vehicle’s handling, steering, stability, traction and braking. Tyre failure, particularly at speed, can have serious consequences.

 

The NHTSA estimates that the installation of tyre pressure monitoring systems, warning drivers of underinflated tyres, could prevent as many as 79 deaths and 10,365 injuries each year in the US alone.

 

 

Did you know?

 

*

Nearly 250,000 accidents per year occur in the United States alone are caused by low tyre pressure.

*

75% of roadside flats tyres are preceded by a slow leak.

*

Americans could save $2 billion a year by cutting their fuel consumption by 10%. Or put another way, you could save $674 a year on fuel for your SUV just by keeping its tyres properly inflated.

*

Up to 40 per cent of European motorists are driving on underinflated tyres. This reduces their vehicle’s directional stability, decreases its fuel economy and increases the rate of tyre wear.

*

80% of motorists in the UK fail to regularly check their tyres.

*

A tyre can lose up to half of its air pressure without appearing to be underinflated.

*

A 0.6 bar drop in pressure increases fuel consumption by 4%

*

A 0.6 bar drop in pressure reduces tyre life by 50%

 

The best tread designs and the most expensive tyres are nothing without the air that carries them along. Checking tyre pressure is a small investment in time compared to the costs of excessive tyre wear and fuel consumption caused by improper inflation.

3 weeks - 1 mth at least nt so bad ... 4 me is every 2 weeks ...

[LeXiong]

for me best is 2wks max a months once...

i onLy pump when tire are stiLL cold.. meaning before ride when tire not that warm

[Ah Fai]

I pump my tire once a week~

 

Heard from a mech that the replacement of tire's valve to better ones will prevent the leakage of air~ don't know its true or not

[hydrop]

I only pump once every 3-4 months.... lazy...

[DaN zI]

i pump once every week , and yes using METAL tire cap prevent air from leaking ..

[DazeWei]

use glue seal it up better . . wun leak

[DaN zI]

use glue seal it up better . . wun leak

 

glue seal liao after tat change the things lor . use blue tack better

[ThePole]

wahlau, i tricked by my friend. i m pumping 2x a week

[Seastorm]

wahlau, i tricked by my friend. i m pumping 2x a week

 

If you check your tyre pressure each time u pump you will see how fast you loose the air. If your tyres require you to pump twice a week then I think you should continue doing so.

[Pell]

wtF? i pump every time i refuel. my pressure was like 180 after 2 weeks (i pump in 220) seems that im the one who is kiasi . . and i ensure my bike is full tank and tire is not warmed up

[DaN zI]

no harm pumping ma , unless u is use e last time bicycle pump LOL . den is tiring

[DazeWei]
