Question 1025 in the bank

What is the required air pressure of the vehicle’s tires?

  1. The tire air pressure is not so important.
  2. According to the instructions of the garage or licensing facility.
  3. A pressure that provides for the most comfortable driving.
  4. Correct answer: The pressure should be according to the manufacturer’s manual.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The pressure should be according to the manufacturer’s manual.

The vehicle manufacturer sets the correct tire pressure based on the vehicle's weight, load and tire design, so that is the value to follow. Pressure that is too low or too high harms braking, grip and stability, and increases wear and the risk of a blowout. Ride comfort or a garage's opinion does not replace the manufacturer's manual; check pressure regularly when the tires are cold.
