🚗 Overview: Why Tyre Pressure Matters

Properly inflated tyres ensure:

  • Consistent road grip and braking performance
  • Improved fuel efficiency
  • Even tyre wear and extended lifespan
  • Optimal driving comfort and stability

Incorrect pressures—either underinflated or overinflated—can cause handling issues, increased fuel consumption, and faster tread wear.

Note: Always double-check the pressure chart inside your driver’s door frame or fuel cap—minor variations may exist depending on regional specifications or load configurations.


⚙️ How to Check and Adjust Tyre Pressure

Step 1: Locate Your Recommended Pressure

  • Check the door jamb sticker or your owner’s manual for tyre-specific pressures.
  • Ensure values match the tyre size fitted to your vehicle.

Step 2: Measure Current Pressure

  • Use a digital tyre pressure gauge or built-in car sensor (TPMS) to read the current PSI or bar values.
  • Check when tyres are cold (before driving or after sitting for at least 3 hours).

Step 3: Inflate the Tyres

  1. Remove the valve cap.
  2. Attach the air hose or tyre pump to the valve.
  3. Inflate gradually, monitoring the pressure with a gauge.
  4. Recheck each tyre and replace the valve caps securely.

Step 4: Deflate if Necessary

  • If a tyre exceeds the recommended level, gently press the valve stem to release air.
  • Use short bursts to avoid over-deflation.
  • Recheck after every adjustment for precision.

🛞 Recommended Tyre Pressure for Ford Puma ST (Performance Model)

While the above applies to standard models, Ford Puma ST uses sport-oriented tyres and requires slightly higher pressures:

225/40 R19 93Y2.5 bar (36 PSI)2.3 bar (33 PSI)

This setup ensures enhanced cornering performance and optimal grip for spirited driving.


⚠️ Tyre Pressure Warning Light (TPMS) Reset

If the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light stays on after adjusting pressures:

  1. Turn the ignition ON without starting the engine.
  2. Press the menu button on the steering wheel.
  3. Select “Driver Assist” → “Tyre Monitor” → “Reset”.
  4. Confirm and drive for a few minutes until the system recalibrates.

If the warning persists, inspect for punctures or faulty sensors.

💡 Seasonal Tyre Pressure Tips

SeasonRecommendation
Winter (Cold Weather)Increase pressure by 0.2 bar (≈3 PSI) to compensate for air contraction.
Summer (Hot Weather)Check pressures more frequently—hot air expands, potentially overinflating tyres.
Long Road TripsInflate to laden values for improved stability and reduced rolling resistance.

🔍 Expert Recommendations

  • Check tyre pressures monthly or before any long journey.
  • Never rely solely on visual inspection—underinflation is often invisible.
  • Replace valve caps promptly to prevent air leaks.
  • Rotate tyres every 10,000–12,000 km for even wear.

🧾 Summary Table by Driving Scenario

ConditionFront TyresRear Tyres
Normal daily use2.3–2.4 bar (33–35 PSI)2.1 bar (30 PSI)
Fully loaded vehicle2.5–2.6 bar (36–38 PSI)2.6 bar (38 PSI)
Motorway driving+0.1 bar (≈1.5 PSI) above normal+0.1 bar (≈1.5 PSI) above normal
Cold weather+0.2 bar (≈3 PSI) above normal+0.2 bar (≈3 PSI) above normal

✅ Key Takeaways

  • Maintain pressures as per tyre size and load for safety and comfort.
  • Inflate tyres when cold, not immediately after driving.
  • Reset the TPMS after any change.
  • Regular checks improve fuel efficiency and tyre longevity.
