What must be the correct inflation pressure for a vehicle's tires?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct pressure is strictly what is recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. This recommendation is based on engineering tests to ensure maximum grip, stability, and efficiency. It is important to remember: Variability: Pressure may vary depending on load conditions (a fully loaded car usually needs more pressure) or the axle (front or rear), but always within the manufacturer's tables. Where to find it: It is usually indicated in the vehicle manual, on the fuel tank flap, or on the driver's door frame. Consequences: Excessive pressure (like 20% more) reduces the contact patch and wears out the center of the tread. Insufficient pressure wears out the tire shoulders and increases fuel consumption. Checking: It must be done when the tires are cold.
