osibembem:Yes you are correct and in addition to that, you can't even fix the tire of a jeep on a small car because it will never fit. |

rockiedink:I beg to differ with u The pressure on d tyre is best to be used bc its specific for d said tyre The pressure set by d car manufacturers refers to that of d tyre the car originally came with, so what of if one has a change of tyre? |

The only reliable way to ensure your tyre is pumped to the correct psi level is to buy your own air compressor; the device roadside vulcanizers are using to measure the guage is usually inaccurate. |

wordychap: Use the Cold Air Pressure rating given by your manufacturer. Don't stick to the tyres cold air inflation pressure reading. |

wordychap: Somewhere before or after the 51psi, the word max or maximum is writen. Thats meant to be a rated maximum in any case this tire is to be used. The actual pressure is writen on the car. Please, know the two things there. There is maximum loading writen there as well as maximum pressure. Is your car the weight writen on the tire that you would want to match the pressure? Your car has a specific weight, it is through the weight the car manufacturers chose the tire size and pressure. The tire manufacture doesnot know your car so they gave you a limit beyond which there is no guarantee. |

jideniceguy:As much as you are correct, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Tire also, which is just an American spelling. |
Re: How To Avoid Tire Blow-out By Pumping Right Pressure Into Your Tire by kingreign(m): 7:48am On May 18, 2016 |
Bose253: My car specifies 30 PSI, it runs smoothly. Anything less than that, the car will tend to steer towards the lower pressure side or move haphazardly and the fuel consumption will be outrageous. Anything higher than that, it will move like I'm riding a stone on pothole infested roads and the brakes won't be very effective. |
Re: How To Avoid Tire Blow-out By Pumping Right Pressure Into Your Tire by huntax(m): 7:48am On May 18, 2016 |
Bose253:Very true. I use 45psi due to the rough roads we have. Anything less would make the car seem wobbly |

jideniceguy:The two spellings are correct. The British spell it as tyre why the American spells it as tire. Thank you. |

englishmart:Why don't we drive right handed cars in Nigeria like the British? OP wasn't writing an application letter and his grammar wasn't bad either. So I suggest you learn the dangers of over pumping your tire, rather than spotting grammatical errors. |

wordychap: No to that. A car comes with several specifications on labels. Aside that of tire specifications, there is one of Air conditioning. My car's refridgerant from factory is R134a, are you saying am free to change it to R12 just because that was factory and the replacement isnt? If you buy a TV or any electronic item, you have to check the label before you plug it. Do you know that if you buy that electronic item and its sticker says 120V and you plug it any where in Nigeria it will immediately damage it? Why is that, because Nigeria has a standard supply of 220V. 160-240V is what they normally deliver which works with most appliances. US and Japan use 120V and give a tolerance of 90-140V. The pressure you see on the tire is a maximum rating. That is, this tire cannot handle pressure beyond what is writen. |

GenOrumov: There is no tire made specifically for SUV. It all depends on your rim size. As a matter of fact. My Honda car uses the same tire with my Highlander. |

duketunde: The prescribed psi that you see by the doors side of the cars are only for new tires. It won't work for used and expired tires that are popularly used by the many Nigerian people. The Vulcaniser are right, they know many of those tires being brought to them are old and expired. |

osibembem: The correct tyre pressure for a Mitsubishi Pajero is 28 PSI. So less than a much smaller and lighter Toyota Corolla, which is 33 PSI. A 2010 Honda CBR 600 is 36/42 PSI. Don't assume the bigger and heavier car always has higher tyre pressures than a smaller, lighter one. 1 Like |

Every Car owner should have this. You can use it yourself to pump your tyre. Very useful if you meet your tyre deflated by lasma and agencies. https://www.nairaland.com/1111012/portable-tyre-pumping-machine-brought
