R

if the load changes

R

before beginning a long journey

R

under different operating conditions, e.g.
off-road driving

If necessary, correct the tire pressure.

Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the
tire pressure. The outer appearance of a tire
does not permit any reliable conclusion about

the electronic tire pressure monitor, the tire

computer.
The recommended tire pressures for the tires
mounted at the factory can be found on the
labels described here.

If a tire size precedes a tire pressure, the tire
pressure information following is only valid

table for different numbers of occupants and
amounts of luggage. The actual number of
seats may differ.

Example: tire pressure table with tire dimensions

Some tire pressure tables show only the rim
diameters instead of the full tire size, e.g.
R18. Rim diameter is part of the tire size and
