Kytl68 Neutral Newbie June 16, 2004 Share June 16, 2004 I notice that after every 2-3 weeks when I go to the petrol station to check my tyre pressure, there is a drop of about 10-15 Kpa on all tyres. Normally, I check the pressure in the morning (almost same time always). Everytime, the tyre start to inflate from around 230 to the set pressure of 245. Is this normal or there is something wrong with the tyre and rim ? FYI, my previous car did not have this problem. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadX Moderator June 17, 2004 Share June 17, 2004 It is very normal. Your should do a bi-weekly check on your tyre pressures, preferably in the morning to ensure that your tyres are optimally inflated. This reduces wear and tear, grip, fuel consumption, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkwalker Clutched June 17, 2004 Share June 17, 2004 How do we then inflate the tyres in the correct pressure? becos going to the petrol station would take some distance and by then, the tyres might have been warm (which have higher pressure inside)... anyone can advise?

Soya Supersonic June 17, 2004 Share June 17, 2004 pump 1 or 2 psi higher lor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadX Moderator June 17, 2004 Share June 17, 2004 That is why I mentioned, you reduce the odds by pumping EARLY in the morning... Anyway any slight increase in temp is not that significant unless you have travelled a few kms For my practice, every other week, I would make, on my way to work, arnd 6am, a trip to the Petrol kiosk, and do the necessary.
