How is tyre pressure measured?
Tyre pressure can be measured in two ways: BAR (metric) or pounds per square inch (PSI) (imperial). The conversion rate for these systems is one BAR =14.5 PSI. You should be able to find both measurements in your vehicle's handbook and on the air machine you use to refill at a petrol station.
What should my car's tyre pressure be?
This varies depending on the vehicle. There are several ways to find your tyre pressure, including inside the fuel panel, in the user manual or on the frame of the driver's door. Please read our
how to check tyre pressure guide to help you through the process.
Can I check my tyre pressure by reg plate?
You can! The tyre pressure checker at the top of the page can tell you the exact BAR or PSI your pressures should be. Simply enter your registration plate, select your tyre size and scroll down the page to see the correct pressure based on the load weight of your car.
How often shall I check my tyre pressure?
Regular checks are essential for your safety and to make the most of your petrol or diesel. As tyres spin, they lose a small amount of air, regardless of their age or cost. So, it's advised that you check your tyre pressure at least once a month. However, you should always check it before longer commutes or road trips to prevent any mishaps along the way.
