1. Check the pressure of HGV tyres before they leave the workshop, or once a week if the vehicle is a frequent visitor.
2. Check the pressure in all tyres not forgetting to check any spare tyre(s) as well.
3. Tyre pressure should be checked against the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pressure for the axle loads (or the tyre manufacturer’s recommended operating pressures).
4. Check the pressure when tyres are cold or when the vehicle has travelled less than two miles.

Ensure that valve extensions are fitted and working for inner twins. If you are unsure on any aspect of tyre pressure or tyre condition take your vehicle to an approved fitting centre and speak to the experts.

TyreSafe recommends that drivers consider changing their tyres before the legal limit of 1mm. The same regulation applies to re-grooved tyres. Tyre tread depth should be checked at least once a month or at every fleet inspection, using an accurate tread depth gauge.
