Actually, I use my car so little these days, I just look at the tyres to see if the shape looks about right!

One thing that really disappoints me is when I eventually decide to put air in (they must be low by now), I pay the 50p only to find that air comes out.

Re: Air Pressure Help Please!
I've just had a brilliant idea.Obviously, solid tyres wouldn't be very good, but what about a tyre filled with some sort of foam? They would be impervious to punctures, yet the foam could provide a springy and compressible filling which, if properly designed and made of suitable material, could behave in a similar way to an air-filled tyre.
You'll probably tell me that such things are already available, and I have no hope of becoming rich on the back of my idea!

Lots of examples, although I haven't read any reviews yet.

Re: Air Pressure Help Please!
I have one of these cheap compressors ($84 - £42) it is pretty good. I got fed up with having to pump up my tyres after riding on dirt roads where you let half the air out so the road didn't shake you to bits.My son bought a really crap el cheapo one years ago but it took for ever to pump up tyres but this one at 160Litres a minute is OK, though takes a couple of minutes to go from 120kpa to 250kpa.
The advice is basic but important.

ArtYou might find this useful for the future. Just type in your registration and it will give you the tyre pressures. Write down the information given on one of your tyres.
