1. a blow out and can damage wheel rims because the tyres no longer support the vehicle Over inflation reduces grip and causes uneven wear 10 2 Effect of temperature Tyre pressures are specified for cold tyres but the tyres warm up when driving and the pressure increases by about 10 in normal service Tyres should therefore be inflated to the recommended level before they are heated by driving In winter tyre pressures fall due to lower temperatures and additional air is required to bring them to the manufacturer s recommended level If a tyre overheats it may blow out or cause permanent damage to the sidewall 11 SERVICE AND WARRANTY Please register your guarantee by completing details on our website The system is warranted to be free from manufacturing defects and is guaranteed for a period of twelve months from date of purchase There are no user serviceable parts inside and if internal parts have been tampered with the warranty may be void The warranty does not affect your statutory rights TyrePal Limited Unit 2 Glen Industrial Estate Essendine Stamford PE9 4LE United Kingdom Telephone 44 0 1780 755490 Email enquiries tyrepal co uk www tyrepal co uk TyrePal Ltd 2013 Ref TB99201305142.
