People please check your tyre pressures if you have not done so recently. This recent cold snap will have seen your pressure drop considerably as the air in your tyre will contract. You really need to check your tyre pressures more often in the winter months. The shorter days, and less warming sunlight and colder temps will mean your tyre pressure can flucuate alot.
As a very rough guide for every 10 degrees F change your tyres will fluctuate around 1psi. What with the difference between summer and winter temps if you havent checked your pressures recently do so asap. I did my mums merc today which last had them check by my dad in August they where 5psi down all round B)
It got me thinking there must alot of people out there who dont know its even more important to check tyre pressure during colder snaps altho they should be checked on a regular basis. Guys sorry if this is like sucking eggs for some of you but its important especially at this time of the year.
Be safe out there people
