What is the perfect tyre pressure?
Each vehicle has its own specifications for tyre pressure, but most fall between 28 and 36 psi (pounds per square inch) however this could be greater especially if you carry extra load in your vehicle or run on larger diameter wheels (there is usually another pressure recommendation for these or the placard). No, for most cars a tire pressure of 40 psi is too high. You might find 40 psi suitable for some vehicles, especially if they’re carrying heavier loads or if the manufacturer’s recommendation is close to that figure. However, it’s generally too high for most passenger cars, which usually recommend between 30-35 psi.Tire pressure increases when the tires are used, and for this reason, following the vehicle and tire brands’ recommendation is crucial. Typically, if the recommended pressure levels are 35, then the tires should not use more than 40 psi. More than that will result in the before mentioned problems.Tire pressure that is too low will damage the sidewalls of your tires. This will lead to poor performance, diminished efficiency, and a potential blowout. Tire pressure that is too high will result in a rough ride and poor handling.
What is the speed rating of A1 tires?
Tire speed ratings are indicated by the letters A-Z, with A1 tires having the lowest speed capabilities at 3 MPH and ZR having the highest at 149 MPH. Speed ratings are measured and certified in controlled, lab-like situations, which are entirely different from the roads and circumstances you drive in every day! Lower speed ratings (such as A8 or B) will mean that you won’t have good control or handling of the car at highway speeds. Higher speed ratings, like H or ZR, can handle far beyond a normal highway speed. For example, “H” would translate to a tire that can only handle speeds up to 130 mph (or 210 km/h).

Should I use 32 or 35 tire pressure?
On newer cars, the recommended pressure is most commonly listed on a sticker inside the driver’s door. If there’s no sticker on the door, you can usually find the specs in the owner’s manual. Most passenger cars will recommend 32 to 35 psi in the tires when they’re cold. recommended tire pressures vary with the size of the car and its tires. Based on normal tire sizes for each segment, small-sized car are usually 30 psi, medium-sized cars are 36 psi, and large cars are 42 psi. Keep in mind that warm tires normally exceed recommended cold tire pressures by 4-6 psi.
