118. Tyre inflation station
An tyre inflation station is a facility where drivers can check and adjust the air pressure in their vehicle's tyres. It is commonly located at filling stations, service areas, garages or other roadside facilities and usually provides a pressure gauge and compressed-air hose.
Correct tyre pressure contributes to safe handling, braking, tyre wear and fuel or energy efficiency. Drivers should inflate their tyres to the pressure recommended for their vehicle and load conditions.
