To drive safely and ensure optimal adherence, what inflation pressure should the tires have?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The proper pressure is strictly what the manufacturer indicates for that specific vehicle model. It is not a subjective decision for the driver, nor should it be systematically higher. Key Points: Reference: The recommended figure is found in the vehicle manual, on the fuel tank cap, or on the door pillar. Conditions: It must be checked periodically (every 15 days) and when the tires are cold. Risks: Over-inflation: Decreases contact surface (less grip) and wears out the center of the tread. Under-inflation: Increases braking distance, risk of blowout due to overheating, and fuel consumption.
