Audi A6: worth checking tyre pressures – it can save you fuel, and provides additional safety. You might also spot a defect while you are doing it too, so it’s a worthwhile check
Editor’s Blog on the importance of tyre pressure checks
WHEN was the last time you checked the tyres on your car? No need to be ashamed about it because we are generally not very good at checking.
I hold my hand up on this. I had not checked the tyre pressures on my Audi A6 recently and found them a couple of PSI down all round.
Of course, many modern cars come with tyre pressure warning systems. Now these are a useful safety device; but they also give a false sense of security. While they warn of sudden deflation, they don’t always monitor the gradual loss of air. And this does happen.
Underinflated tyres increase their rolling resistance
