How Often Do You Check Tyre Pressures?

[Crazy cat]

guys, on my alto its given in the placard to fill 30PSi and i always do the same. and my car is not on full load anytime. a max of 3 passengers at a time. that's all. so any problem if i continue on this?

No, it won't cause any problem. I drive alone for most time.

No Prob Sriharsha!

30PSi is normal & it will not cause any issues.

I think even 30psi is the recommended tyre pressure for alto

Don’t worry if that’s what mentioned on the placard.

I am not sure about Alto, but for Punto they have mentioned 2 sets of pressure, one for midium load and one for full load.
Upto 300KG, medium load is sufficient.

Could you tell us how much pressure has to be maintained for both the loads?

For Emotion Variant (175/70 R14 84T)

Medium Load - 32 (Front) 30.5 (Rear)
Full Load - 33.4 (Front) 32 (Rear)

I normally keep 33/31.

Since Punto runs on R14 & R15!

My guess, it would be around 34 for normal load & 36 on Full Load.

Just my guess, lets see what RSM says :)

I read somewhere that air pressure in tubeless, in normal steel rims, gets reduced more frequently than alloys. However, i don't feel in my car. I check it mostly after re-fuelling and the pressure get reduced normally by 1-2 PSI.

Same here for the Fabia, different pressures are specified for the front and rear tyre for normal load and full load.

And I get my pressures checked every time I fill fuel, but also every time I hit the expressway, or go on a hill road / long distance trip.

Stupid question, but how to check tire pressure?

A decent tire shop or the gauge reading(when you fill air to the tire) at the regular petrol pump should do well,although there accuracy can be a bit off.Once every 15-18 days should be a decent interval for the no fuss motorist.

Tip-When you fill air to the tires if you notice one of the tires is 4 plus psi lesser than the other tires it indicates a slow puncture.For example 3 out of your 4 tires tires read 29psi but one reads 25psi it indicates that one has a slow puncture.

Thanks Prads, didn't know about this fact..

i check it weekly , also when i re-fuel

I basically check them at the time of filling just before starting any long trip,else in case of short city trip,there is no question of checking it up.

Is 32 PSI for front & rear good enough for ALTO K10 VXI ? and if its Nitrogen, how often do we have to check ?
