Correct answer
With cold tyres, following the applicable recommendation.
With cold tyres, following manufacturer instructions for load, speed and operating conditions. Pressure rises as tyres warm up: a hot reading is a real pressure, but is not directly comparable with the recommended cold value. Do not deflate a hot tyre to match that value or automatically reduce pressure by 10% when carrying a load. For heavy vehicles, follow the appropriate tyre and vehicle tables and procedures.
