1 There are three people in the car or a driver and 170 kg of cargo.
2 The car is loaded to the max.
3 Operation of the car in any mode, on any roads, at high speeds, and driving at maximum speed never lasts longer than 30 minutes. If you drive at high speeds, then the air pressure in the tires should be increased for every 10 km/h after 160 km/h by 0.1 bar.
4 On vehicles with automatic transmission, the tire pressure must be increased by 0.2 bar due to the increased load on the front suspension.
Those who value riding comfort above all should follow the above recommendations. If you agree to a less comfortable suspension and prefer more gentle handling and lower fuel consumption, then increase the given pressure parameters by 0.2-0.3 bar.
If you check tire pressure (every 2-4 weeks) notice its decrease, then you should check the wheels more carefully. The reason for this may be a faulty spool or a piece of glass or a nail sitting in the tire. In any case, be sure to find the cause of the pressure drop; if not, just inflate the tire.
Checking the air pressure on cold tires
Already after a few kilometers of continuous driving, the tire pressure rises by about 0.2-0.4 bar. This increase has been taken into account in the tire pressure recommendations and should therefore not be underestimated. It is best to have your own gauge to measure the pressure before driving with cold tires.
