Hi there,

Sorry if this is the wrong place to pose this query.
We are planning a to & fro journey, about 750KM each way. If we start by filling in the appropriate air pressure, will we still have to check the tyre air pressure anytime during the journey(onward/return) considering that the distance each way is pretty long.

Appreciate your inputs. Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
Providing you have had no issues with slow leaks, you should be able to complete your journey without re-checking your tyres.

normally you will get there without having to worry about the tire pressure. just make sure that your tire does not have any puncture or that your valve is not leaking.
if you are really wanting to make sure, check the pressure mid-travel. it would normally be higher, if it is lower that the pressure you had when you left for the trip, then you potentially have a leak.
