Akainzo: I mentioned vulcanizers because they the professional here. If they inform the car owners today, what of those that will buy car next month and beyond? Unless it's done regularly. But if all vulcanizers are educated on this, they will continue to pass it on. |

INDIANLABIA: If you can't find the information, I'll suggest you reduce all of them to 35. The recommended pressure can't be more than that 1 Like |

ashley26: Then your recommended tyre size might not be 205 by 65. Check the pix I attached my recommended tyre size is 195 by 60 R15 |

smushi: 1. Buy only the recommended tyre size for your vehicle. Check the pix I attached, mine is 195/60 R15 2. As said by contributors here, the one on the tyre is the maximum the tyre can take. Why put the maximum it can take instead of the recommended? 1 Like |

ojmaroni247: Ive noticed it too. Initially I in the habit of pumping to usually 40-45psi. When I found out about my car's recommended pressure of 28psi and started complying, i noticed it wasn't as smooth as it used to be, almost sluggisgh. at about 45-50psi, the car seems to be floating on air. |

plendil: If the recommended pressure for your car is 28, Pls don't exceed 35. It's true cars move faster at higher pressure but consider the possibility of burst which can cost your life. To get where you are going to about 20mins later is better than landing where you don't want. A word is enough for the wise 1 Like |

ashley26: Wrong. I use the same tire. It says maximum pressure 44psi. It means if your car says to put 50psi, this tire can handle 44psi max. It doesnt stop you from using the manufacturers recommendation. The recommended pressure is related to the size of tire and weight of car.

Which is more important, tire pressure on tires or the ones written on vehicles? |

it's funny people think because it's written on the tire that maximum pressure should be 44psi (for example), it means they can inflate to 40psi and all will be well...wrong! when the tire reads maximum pressure should be 44psi (for instance) that includes the expansion that takes place when you are on the highway especially on a very hot day. this simply means your car manufacturer's recommended pressure still holds because when you inflate to 32psi, on the highway the pressure can get to 40psi! you don't want to exceed that or else.....hmmmmmmm 4 Likes |
