how much air should be in tyres

The appropriate air pressure for your tyres largely depends on the vehicle type and the tyre specifications. Typically, passenger cars range between 32 to 35 psi (pounds per square inch) under normal conditions. It's crucial to refer to the vehicle’s owner manual or the tyre information placard (usually found on the driver’s side door jamb or fuel door) for the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure. This information is specific to the vehicle's weight, size, and tyre dimensions. Over-inflation can lead to decreased traction and premature tyre wear, while under-inflation can cause tires to overheat and increase rolling resistance, leading to decreased fuel efficiency and tire life. Remember, tyre pressure should be checked when the tyres are cold, as heat from driving can increase pressure readings. Regularly monitoring and maintaining the recommended tyre pressure is essential for optimum driving performance, fuel efficiency, and tyre lifespan.
