If I don't drive for 5 days in a row, the air pressure sure drop. So, have to pump. If drive everyday, 3 months pump once also can.

Arm yourself with a simple good quality tyre pressure gauge, and you will save time going to service station.

Erms... 3 people asking same question, so I never quote.

My usual kpa is 230 on all 4 wheels.

So when I go to the pump, it shows 225 or 215. So like that means got something wrong? :blink:

 

I like the feeling when my tyres are at 230, psychologically, smoother ride. [laugh]

 

So my case is something wrong or I too anal liao?

Nothing wrong, the lost pressure went to the hose length.

Just note what is the normal pressure it shows initially, if it much lower than normal initial pressure then likely there is a leak in your tyre somewhere.

Tyre pressure is best at recommended KPA. There is nothing to worry at all if the reading is + _ 10%.

Ok. Just remembered, I only pump once a month for the other car which I don't drive often.

 

Is it recommended to pump as regularly as I do? Tyre will overstretch boh? :ph34r:

Ya, that time my workshop pump 240 for me. Go over a pothole at 60km/h, the tyre burst. In the end have to go back to them to change a new one. [bigcry]

Tyre are designed with 4 times safety factor before bursting. Under normal road conditions it 's very safe. Going into a pot hole not only destroy the rim and tyre , such happening can also easily kill the driver :D
