Hello auto gurus in the house, which is the correct tyre pressure guide to follow: what's written on the tyres or what's pasted on the driver's side of the car? Or the usual 40/45 psi that most vulcanizers are wont to administer?

On my saloon car (ES), the tyre pressure indicated is 29 psi (cold pressure), while on the tyres it's recommended at 44psi. All so confusing!

Personally, I've always insisted on 35 psi on all four tyres. But now I'm afraid I might be under-inflating the tyres which can lead to quicker wear.

What do you advise?

Stick to what's on the car tyre sticker info. Pls note that as air warms up, it expands, so it entails you pumping only early in mornings before driving off or very little drive when the tyre has not heated up.

But on the tyre it's 44psi...!

Going by your explanation, it's bound to expand to an even higher figure after driving for a good while. I've never imagined 50psi on a salon car under any circumstances.

Here to learn.

kingreign:
Leave tyre pressure. Stick to car recommended Cold Air Pressure.

HeavenlyBang:
I try to keep mine at around 35psi fully heated. So about 30psi cold.
