🚗 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
- Remove the valve cap.
- Attach the air hose or tyre pump to the valve.
- Inflate gradually, monitoring the pressure with a gauge.
- 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:

Tyre Size (ST) | Front (bar / PSI) | Rear (bar / PSI) |
---|---|---|
225/40 R19 93Y | 2.5 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:
- Turn the ignition ON without starting the engine.
- Press the menu button on the steering wheel.
- Select “Driver Assist” → “Tyre Monitor” → “Reset”.
- 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
Season | Recommendation |
---|---|
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 Trips | Inflate 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
Condition | Front Tyres | Rear Tyres |
---|---|---|
Normal daily use | 2.3–2.4 bar (33–35 PSI) | 2.1 bar (30 PSI) |
Fully loaded vehicle | 2.5–2.6 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.
