Gadgets to keep your tyres in check

Motoring costs shoot up from month to month yet many people still ride around with under-inflated tyres, which contribute both to tyre wear and higher fuel costs. Badly under-inflated tyres are also a major cause of accidents on our roads.

Motoring costs shoot up from month to month yet many people still ride around with under-inflated tyres, which contribute both to tyre wear and higher fuel costs. Badly under-inflated tyres are also a major cause of accidents on our roads.

Despite these factors, it’s very rare to see someone regularly checking tyre pressure when filling up. Nowadays it’s just a rush to fill up and go.

Now there’s an easier way with Valve-Check, a simple device that replaces the conventional valve cap and warns you when a tyre is not at the correct pressure. The device indicates the correct inflation by displaying a green band through a clear plastic cap; when a tyre loses pressure and is under-inflated it changes to yellow and then to red to warn if your tyre is severely under-inflated.

This can extend the reach of your tyres and wallet while minimising the risk of accidents due to compromised road holding.

There is another device called the Spare-Check, which allows you to monitor your spare tyre pressure. Spare-Check comes with an extension hose which is fitted, complete with a Valve-Check, to the valve on your spare tyre and a mounting bracket for fitting in the boot or on the underside of a bakkie.

If secured to a visible spot in your car this will ensure that you’re never caught with a flat spare in an emergency.

Valve-Check comes in six pressure measurements; 1.8 bars, 2.0 bars, 2.2 bars, 2.4 bars, 2.6 bars, and 2.8 bars.

Spare-Check and Valve-Check retail for R194.95 each, visit www.carsafetycomponents.co.za for more information.
