Tire Pressure Guide

Learn where to find the recommended cold tire pressure, how temperature affects pressure and what to do about recurring loss or a TPMS warning.

Use the vehicle placard

The recommended cold inflation pressure is normally listed on the vehicle tire-information placard and in owner documentation. The maximum pressure moulded into a tire sidewall is not a substitute for the vehicle recommendation.

Check when tires are cold

Use a suitable gauge before significant driving and adjust to the vehicle specification. Front and rear recommendations may differ. Recheck after large seasonal temperature changes.

A recurring warning needs inspection

Repeated pressure loss can indicate a puncture, valve, bead, wheel or tire issue. A monitoring-system warning should not simply be reset until pressure and possible causes are checked.
