Ur eg PSI 32 very high leiðð

Later, the ride becomes hard hard.. @bancoe like that feel..

32 PSI is quite a common pressure for most car. My current ride required 34/35 PSI at normal ride. The pressure should be measured at ambient temperature and not when the tyre had been running on high speed for quite sometime as tyre pressure expanded.

Previously I use to worry n check regularly on my tire pressure.

Then I install TPMS which let me have a worry free mind.

You didn't ask why don't bend down to retreat the inlet cap that rolled underneath the ride?

 

I torn my pant! ð

Lol.. cos I also know it's very difficult if it roll underneath. Won't want to go down on all fours to retrieve.

Sometimes it would slip drop behind (inner side) of the rim or inside the rim itself.

 

So any new driver beware.

My Car usually come out from service centre at 250kpa.....it will come down after a while. In fact I don't have to pump till the next service usually six months time. The TPMS will show 240 or even 230 then signal comes out. By then is next service timing

Can actually figure it out yourself if u aren't in hurry.

 

In general...

Set the desired pressure.

Pull the hose to your tyre, unscrew, poke the connector till u can't push further in..U may need to hold on to it after that.

If u hear pssst sound, u aren't pumping but letting off air.

U pump until u hear ting ting sound which means the preset pressure is reached.

U pull off the connector and screw back.

Repeat for the rest.

Some pump stations the 'ting ting' sound is barely audible [dizzy]
