Tire pressure plays an important role in consumption.
We leave the overhaul and our tires were under inflated (1.6 / 1.7 instead of 2.2 / 2.4 anyway) ... I know I'm ashamed to have left tires in this state ...... not typed not typed!
But these tires have 18 months: they are snow tires that have served only 1 season ... so I did not think it could lose so much in these conditions ... me.
The guy put us 2.4 everywhere, since we consume 10% less according to the on-board computer ...
My question is simple: up to how much can you "exceed the recommended pressure" while remaining "secure"?
Tire Consumption and Pressure: Over-inflation to?

From what I read, the pressure advocated by car manufacturers is a noise-comfort-consumption compromise.
For safety, it is necessary to limit yourself to the pressure indicated in PSI on the tire itself.
I have already climbed up to almost 3 bar, of course it feels at the level of comfort.
EDIT: same, I only do this summer ...

Maieuh it's not me that touched is the garage!
Ok so if I understood correctly, we can say that we can put +0.4 in summer without "worries"?
Yes I also think that the "precaunisé" pressure is the compromise pressure ... I would add 2 other parameters:
"noise-comfort-consumption + safety / grip + tire wear".
All this to say that the checking of the pressure is often neglected ... I am the living proof of it ... I just realized that I was wasted by pure stupidity (do not check the pressure when I mounted the snow tires 4 months ago) about 25 L ... it's still 1 / 2 full is 450-500km ... !!
ps: the pressure indicated on the tires would not be the "burst" or "maximum load not to be exceeded" pressure? because a tire can be mounted on different vehicles which do not have the same mass ...

Uh you speak over or under inflation? Because the under inflation uses much faster than the sur ...
Are there overfill PVs? I thought for the sub ...
