Ya. 1.6km how to ? Unless the petrol kiosk is next door of your block. Think most of us pump while it is hot tyres. Then how to compensate ?
Eg less than 1.6km - pump 210 and 230
1.6 km - 10 km - pump ???
10 km - 20 km - pump ???
iagree:

hi vortex
iagree w u.
sigh.
may be 15km drive, then when arrive there, wait for 15min before start pumping? ^$^
Silver:
Tyres are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours (see same page of owner's manual)
Usually, you can compensate by about 10 to 15 kPa extra when pumping "HOT" tyres
Do invest in a quality tyre pressure gauge and you can check the tyre pressures COLD before you drive to the kiosk and check the tyres when they are HOT and then you can see how much to compensate
on a side note, good read :

I have no time to go to HengTyre @ Kallang there to pump my Nitrogen air for my new GR80 tyres...
Last night, I pump at ESSO fuel stn @ clementi. Those air are not Nitrogen air right?
The front tyres, i pumped 230. The rear tyres, i pumped 210. Follow the common standard, dare not over pump the air pressure. Any comment?
So, now the air in the 4 new GR80 tyres are mixed liao, how ah? Any knowledge need to share with me for this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Yours iagree.

Hi iagree, noticed that the tyre pressure at 270/250 not really that scarely after all (though abit bumpy). I'm on this tyre pressure now after poisoned by some of the bros here. Will monitor the FC + some skills shared by bro fri13th, liewks, toalson,etc.. :thumbsup:

Recommended tyre prssure for COLD tyres is 200KPa, so for a warmed up tyre, an extra 20KPa in pressure to compensate means one should pump 220KPa.
But in the name of fuel efficiency, I think many forumers are pumping way above the recommended pressure, up to 280KPa.
