The Hidden Danger of Underinflated Tyres

03 November 2025

A blowout at speed can be catastrophic - putting the driver, passengers, and others on the road at serious risk. That is why TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems) and monthly manual pressure checks are vital. Keeping tyres properly inflated not only prevents overheating and blowouts but also improves fuel efficiency and tyre lifespan.

When a tyre is underinflated, its contact surface area with the road increases. Underinflation of the tyre creates a dangerous chain reaction:

• More surface area = more friction
• More friction = more heat buildup
• More heat = risk of a blowout
