You can fill 28 PSI for Maruti 800.

If you are going fully loaded then i would suggest to fill 30 PSi

Yup. Maruti Suzuki recommends 28 Psi. Remember to keep it in check and avoid under or over inflating the tyres. There’s a tyre pressure placard stuck on the side of body on driver’s door. It has all the relevant information about it. Same thing is there in ownership manual also.

Drive Safe,
