The payload and the durability of tyres is directly dependent on the tyre pres-
sure. Air is a volatile medium. It is unavoidable that it will escape from tyres.
As a rule of thumb it can be assumed that a filled tyre loses pressure at a rate
of 0.1 bar every two months. To prevent the tyres becoming damaged or burst,
check the tyre pressure regularly.
The information on pressure levels is valid for cold tyres and loaded vehi-
cles.
Pressure in hot tyres is higher than in cold tyres. Therefore, check the pres-
sure when the tyres are cold.
