C1Difficulty 3/5

To compare and adjust lorry tyre pressure to the recommended cold value for its load, when should it be checked?

Correct answer

With cold tyres.

With cold tyres under the applicable procedure. Pressure rises while driving; do not release air from hot tyres to reach the recommended cold value. After travel, allow cooling under instructions. A hot measurement may help identify a problem but is not equivalent to a cold reading.
