Q: What are the Tyre Pressures for my car?
A:
The tyre pressures are usually quoted on a sticker on the drivers door B-Pillar. This can be missing or worn so refer to the table below if you are not certain. These are the manufacturers recommended figures but you may want to increase them slightly depending on the load, driving style or the type of tyre used but watch for uneven tyre wear.
Always check and adjust tyre pressures when the tyres are cold. Ideally check them every two weeks or before long journeys. Don’t forget to check the spare.
