    Reminder: CHECK YOUR PRESSURES

    Coz hey it's a good thing to do - and, if by chance you find out that one of your fronts is down by 15psi, re-inflation and the resultant improvements in grip and performance just might make your day.

    Good point and good advice Click here to enlarge

    Dosn't need to be done that often, unless there's a problem somewhere, but good to do as a periodic check at the same time as other simple quick checks like fluid levels and seeing everything else under the bonnet and around the car is screwed down/in properly not loose etc. Click here to enlarge

    if you have been driving on a low inflated tyre for a extra long period of time don't expect it to last long once pumped up to normal pressure again

    Me also. Will be pumping them up tongiht... i can feel that they're rather low atm. No doubt the track runs and the 500 odd km's last week deflated them.

    Normally they drop 1 or 2 or 0 psi when i check once a week.

    I set mine to 36 all around.
