Twin wheelers and tyre maintenance

[Obelix]

Is it an after market gadget? Is it only on commercials or also on cars?

 

You can find it on some cars - BMW have a system that lets you adjust the tyre pressure whilst driving as well. I know that Audi has something similar.

 

Any car with run flats will have a flat wheel sensor as well so it can alert you to the problem.

Hi

I Know it's been a while since this topic was posted, however, I'm Sam, I run Hometyre Sheffield, I'm an expert in the tyre industry and have lots of experience in dealing with twin axle vehicles.

 

As someone has said the use of extended valves should be being used and an extended, double ended nozzle will get access to the valves

 

You can see the inner tyres well enough to do an inspection from under the vehicle.

 

If you, or anyone, would like a free tyre inspection I'm happy to swing by when I'm in the area to give a professional opinion, I offer a fully mobile service so I'm always buzzing around.

Thanks, our council now use mobile tyre fitters all the time, kwik fit type places cost too much and mobile can offer good home service.
