Tire Pressure

[Altivo]

wat logic is this??

 

i think what he meant is that with time, air will permeate through the rubber. In that case, fill up with nitrogen.

Based on my personal experience, if pump 10-15Kpa more than the recommended gives me better FC. However, ride will be more bumpy. My friend pump more than the recommended pressure and his tire puncture when his car went over a piece of wood.

My tyre shop checked and pumped my tires at 32-34 psi with nitrogen. I go to them every fortnight or once a month.

 

In addition, I do my tyre rotation every 20k mileage. Not sure whether this is right or way. My last set of tires were maintained in this way and they manage to last me another 10k more mileage before changing to the current set.

Over inflation should not be more than 10% of the recomended air pressure.

[WTF]

Saw an article in ST last Sat under Classifieds that recommendation is to rotate tires every 7K-8K. I did mine every 10K during servicing.

 

Lately also find my tires losing air much at a faster rate. After pumping a week ago, pressure has dropped from 210 Kpa

to about 185 KPa. Is this normal?

 

How often you guys check and pump your tires?
