The maintenance of correct
tvre pressure is an impoftant
factor
governing tvle life, steering behaviour
anci suspinsion.
Air losses due to diffusion
may
vary
between I
and 3
lbs.
per
sq.

per
wcek.
lt is, therefore, imlortant
that a check on tyre
pressule is made weekly
and the losses made
good. Corrcct
tyrc pressures are given on
page 62.
Adjust
the pressures whilst
thc tyres are coicl. i.e.. before
a
fun. As
the tyres warm up their
pressures

incr-ease as much
as 5 to 6 lbs.
per
