The Impact of Tyre Pressure on Fuel Efficiency and Tyre Wear

A few months ago, a customer named Johan reached out with a frustration many drivers can relate to. His fuel costs had skyrocketed, and his tyres were wearing out faster than expected. Thinking it was just bad luck, he replaced his tyres—twice—only to face the same problem.

Then, during a routine visit to a mechanic, he heard something surprising: “Your tyre pressure is all over the place.”

Like many drivers, Johan had never paid much attention to his tyre pressure. He assumed that as long as his tyres weren’t visibly flat, they were fine. What he didn’t realize was that incorrect tyre pressure was quietly draining his wallet—both at the petrol station and in tyre replacements.

Why Tyre Pressure Matters

Johan’s story isn’t unique. Many drivers unknowingly lose money due to under-inflated or over-inflated tyres. Here’s why:

🔴 Under-inflated tyres = More rolling resistance, which means your car works harder and burns more fuel. They also wear out unevenly, shortening their lifespan.
🔴 Over-inflated tyres = Less road grip, causing a rougher ride and increasing the risk of tyre separation.

What’s worse? Tyres naturally lose 1-3 PSI per month, even without punctures. Small leaks, rim leaks, and daily temperature changes all contribute to slow pressure loss.

Many drivers check their pressure when tyres are warm, giving false high readings and leading them to under-inflate unknowingly. The best time to check? First thing in the morning, when tyres are cold.

How Armour Tyre Sealant Helps Regulate Tyre Pressure

After learning about the issue, Johan installed Armour Tyre Sealant—and here’s what happened:

No more slow leaks or rim leaks, meaning his tyres stayed properly inflated.
Fuel consumption dropped because his car was running at peak efficiency.
Tyres lasted longer, saving him thousands in unnecessary replacements.

Armour Tyre Sealant acts as a built-in pressure regulator, keeping air inside where it belongs. By sealing punctures instantly and preventing gradual pressure loss, it eliminates the hassle of constantly refilling your tyres.

Johan’s Results—and How You Can Get the Same

A month after installing Armour Tyre Sealant, Johan messaged us again—this time, with good news. His tyres were holding steady at the correct pressure, and he noticed fewer stops at the petrol station. His biggest regret? Not doing this sooner.

🚗 Don’t make the same mistake—take control of your tyre pressure today. Shop Armour Tyre Sealant and keep your tyres roadworthy, your fuel costs low, and your journeys stress-free.
