At what inflation pressure should a vehicle's tyres be kept?

Correct answer

The pressure recommended in each case by the vehicle manufacturer.

Poor tyre condition is the main cause of accidents due to mechanical failure. Therefore, the driver must give them the attention they require and carry out proper maintenance regularly. Tyre inflation pressure should be checked periodically (approximately every 15 days). This check should be carried out with the tyres cold and using a properly functioning pressure gauge. If you check the pressure with the tyres hot, you must not remove the increase caused by the heat, as it is normal and allowed for by the manufacturer. Tyres must be inflated to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer (according to the load and road). The spare wheel must be inflated to the highest pressure recommended by the manufacturer.
