How to check tire pressure the right way
Correct pressure can improve safety, wear and fuel use.
What you can expect
Clear service boundaries, practical help and a simple next step.
Use the vehicle value
The correct pressure is not the same for every tire.
Check regularly, not only before holidays
Pressure can drop slowly without an obvious puncture.
Pressure warnings are not a diagnosis
A tire-pressure warning tells you that attention is needed.
Use the vehicle value
The correct pressure is not the same for every tire. It depends on the vehicle, load and tire size. Look for the manufacturer information on the fuel flap, door frame or manual. If there are two values for normal and fully loaded driving, choose according to your actual trip.
Check regularly, not only before holidays
Pressure can drop slowly without an obvious puncture. A regular check helps avoid uneven wear and unnecessary fuel use. If one tire loses pressure repeatedly, do not just keep filling it. Have it checked for visible damage, valve problems or other tire-related causes.
Pressure warnings are not a diagnosis
A tire-pressure warning tells you that attention is needed. It does not automatically explain why. The cause can be seasonal temperature change, a slow leak, a valve issue or a sensor-related topic. If the car feels unsafe, stop and ask for advice before continuing.
