Tyre inflator
Do you notice that there is too little pressure on your car tyres? Then it is important that you inflate the tyre.
You can easily inflate your car tyres with a car tyre inflator. Since the car tyres
are the only contact of the car with the road surface, it is important that
they are always in top condition. In addition to sufficient profile, tyre
pressure is essential. If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre will not
perform sufficiently. Too little tyre pressure will lead to:
- less grip;
- A long braking distance;
- Higher fuel consumption;
- Faster tyre wear;
- Greater chance of a blowout;
- More chance of slipping.
All the above points show that good tyre
pressure is therefore very important. We therefore recommend that you check the
tyre pressure regularly. You can easily check the tyre pressure with a
tyre pressure gauge . You place this on the valve of the tyre and then the tyre
pressure gauge indicates the current pressure. To find out the correct pressure
for your tyres, you will need to read the tyre pressure table. This is a
sticker that can often be found on the inside of the fuel flap, in the door
frame or behind the sun visor.
After checking the tyre pressure,
does it appear that there is too little pressure on your car tyres? Then it is
advisable to provide it with the correct voltage as soon as possible. You can
easily do this yourself with a tyre pump. In addition to inflating car tyres, a
tyre pump can also be used for caravan tyres, bicycle tyres, air mattresses,
footballs, etc. But which tyre pumps are actually available?
Types of tyre Inflators
There are different tyre pump
versions. There are foot pumps and electric tyre pumps. Foot pumps are car tyre
inflators that you have to manually operate with, as the name suggests, your
foot. An advantage of this pump is that they are often a lot cheaper than an
electric tyre pump. A disadvantage, however, is that it is sometimes difficult
to determine the correct voltage. You have to read this from a manometer, where
precision is sometimes difficult to determine. The advantage of motor-driven tyre
pumps is that the inflation of the tyre is much faster than with a manual pump.
However, for an electric tyre inflator you need a power point such as the 12 V
cigarette lighter plug.
