That’s good to know. So, keeping the pressures right can save money too? Win-win!

I’d say check them at least once a month and before long trips. It’s a small effort for big safety and savings benefits!
That sounds reasonable! I’ve learned my lesson after some costly mistakes with my previous vehicle.
The recommended tyre pressure for the MG ZS is often around 33 PSI for the front and 30 PSI for the rear. It’s best to check the owner’s manual for specifics.
Thanks for that info! I usually check my tyre pressure once a month, any tips on tools?

A simple digital tyre pressure gauge is a great tool to have. You can get one at most auto parts stores for a reasonable price. They’re very easy to use!
Absolutely! Also, remember to check the pressure when the tyres are cold for the most accurate reading.
I like to check my tyre pressure every couple of weeks, especially before long trips. It’s a good habit to keep yourself safe on the road.

If you notice uneven wear or if your tyres are consistently losing pressure, definitely get a professional to check them out. Safety first!
Good point! And what about valve checks? Are those important too?
Yes, valve checks are important! A faulty valve can cause slow leaks. Just give them a quick inspection during your pressure checks.
I never thought about that! Thanks for the heads up. Any funny stories related to tyre pressure?
Once I forgot to check my tyre pressure before a road trip, and I ended up with a very bouncy ride! Lesson learned: always check before you go!
