These variations in the tyre circumference can be due to wear or variations in tyre pressure due to variations in speed, payload, or ambient temperature.
My policy is to encourage more weights and measures authorities to adopt systems of checking tyre pressure gauges on a voluntary basis as is already done by many of them.
Obviously, we must not forget either the impact on the environment which the new tyre pressure monitoring system will have, with its reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
Comments received on the draft proposals for a voluntary tyre pressure gauge test scheme showed considerable support for the proposals, though some details need to be settled by further discussion.
Does he not agree that wrong tyre pressure settings can prove fatal?
I have previously drawn the analogy between a tyre pressure gauge and an establishment.
There is even a way of monitoring tyre pressure.
Some variation in tyre pressure is acceptable because manufacturers recommend for individual types a range of pressures varying with the load carried.
