Correct answer
The pressure recommended by the manufacturer in each case.
Each vehicle has specific inflation-pressure requirements designed to optimise performance and safety. The correct tyre pressure must be the pressure recommended by the manufacturer and is essential for safety, performance and fuel efficiency. Appropriate pressure reduces the risk of blowouts and improves the vehicle's stability and braking ability, helps maintain even tyre wear and prolongs tyre life, and reduces rolling resistance, improving fuel efficiency. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly, approximately every 15 days, when the tyres are cold for an accurate measurement.
