Your 4WDs tyres are your only point of contact to both the tracks, and the highway and neglected tyres can not only make your drive uncomfortable, but also can end up putting you, your families, and even other drivers in danger when the conditions become less than favorable!<\/p>\n
The only way you can ensure your vehicle is up to scratch, is by keeping a regular eye on your tyres, and your tyre pressures \u2013 if you aren\u2019t sure what you are looking for stick around, we are going to cover the basics of tyre maintenance and inspection to ensure you are as safe as possible on the tracks and on the road!<\/p>\n

TYRE PRESSURES!<\/strong><\/p>\n This one is the easiest bit of vehicle maintenance you can perform \u2013 by making sure your tyres are inflated to the correct pressures that your vehicle manufacturer recommends, you ensure you have the best possible road holding ability when travelling at speed on the highway.<\/p>\n The Adventure Kings range of air compressor equipment includes both compressors and other high pressure air accessories. The Thumper MKII air compressor<\/strong><\/a> is one of the best value air compressors available on the market, capable of outputting 160L\/min of high pressure air, it is even faster than many fuel station air hoses at bringing your tyres up to pressure, and all off the power from your 4WD\u2019s battery!<\/p>\n Your tyres air pressure is critical to offroad performance, this also includes being too high pressure. When you are driving offroad, it is important to drop your pressures low enough to allow your sidewall to sag and more contact patch to be put to the track surface. By dropping your pressures around half what highway pressures are you INSTANTLY enable nearly 300% of the surface area to present itself to the track, making your tyres perform like caterpillar tracks. Whilst the concept seems simple, it is still critical that your tyres are all deflated to the same pressure, to ensure your vehicles balance is not compromised!<\/p>\n
