The required tyre pressure is established by the amount of load or weight that the tyre is carrying. Over or under inflation can cause excessive tire tread wear. The recommended pressures for your tyres are shown in raised lettering on the sidewall of the tyres.
Depending on what you are towing, you will know how much additional weight is being placed on the cars rear tyres, and you can adjust the pressure accordingly.
Personally, When I am towing, I increase the tire pressures by about 5 psi just to reduce sidewall flexing and create a more stable towing package.
Hope this helps.

My Audi Q5 3.0 TDI shows the TPMS malfunction, and was not changing from gear 4 while driving. i stopped the car, switch off the car and changed gears which could change,but still wont move was towed.

hi
There is TPMS (tyre pressure monitoring system)
they are inside every tyre. Which tell the car about your tyre pressure. If they have failed or you have recently changed tyres where sensors are not placed properly then light will come on and most likely car will stop, due to safety issue.

Thanks

I drive a 2009 Mazda bt50 single cab tray back ute. The recommended unladen tyre pressures are 32 front and 30 rear but continually have approx 240 kilograms loaded in the tray. What pressures should

you should be running 8 ply tyres on the vehicle to carry the maximum load as required by the regulator
The recommended tyre pressure will be on a decal attached to the drivers door ( probably on the door frame under the latch)
Having said all that I recommend 45 psi for the rear and 40 for the front
If you run any less ,the ride will be smoother but if you load the vehicle, the rear tyres are under inflated and prone to failure from overheating
tyres are manufactured to run at a certain pressure due to the construction of the case. Talk to a tyre shop as to the pressure you should be using for the tyres.

Tyre Pressure for Majestic 19.6 ft Caravan

Depends also on the kind of tyre.
For the maximum load of tyre nex kinds need next pressure , wich is called AT-pressure/maxloadpressure/reference-pressure , for up to maximum speed of tyre or if lower 160km/99m/h. This is not the maximum pressure of tyre.

Normal car tyre /standardload AT 2.5bar/36psi ( exeptions as low as 2.2)
XL/Reinforced/Extraload AT 2.9bar/42psi ( exeptions 2.8 and 3.0)
6PR( plyrating) /C-load AT 3.8bar/55psi EUR ( USA 50psi/3.4bar)
8PR/D-load AT 4.5/4.8 bar/ 65/69/70 psi
From E -load is not often used in Europe.

From this AT pressure you can calculate the needed pressure for lower loads . Made spreadsheet for it in wich I first add 10% to the assumed load before calculating.
Will give example picture

What is the correct tyre pressure for a 205/50/16

depending on the vehicle /weight and expected speed, 26-28 psi. heavy vehicle or travelling at high speed it can go up to 30psi. The recommended tyre pressure will be on the specification plate for wheels and tyres on the door edge or door opening pillar. Some makes of tyres have the tyre pressure moulded into the side wall of the tyre.

Recommended tyre pressures

The tyre pressures are on a sticker on the door post or edge of the door. Never inflate tyres to the figures on the tyre wall, they are just for regulation purposes. Expect the pressures to be around 28-30 psi, 2.2 bar

RECOMMENDED TYRE PRESSURE

Check the inside of your driver side door. It will have the recommended tire size/specs along with pressure recommendations. Including your vehicle year, make, and model would help in the event of future issues.

Tyre Pressures: The Handbook for my April 2002 reg. V70 Estate gives two tyre pressures for both the front and the rear tyres, but I am getting misleading advice about which is the correct one to use. At...

Hello, any pressure in between is fine, these are recommended pressures, i personally look at tyre wear when putting pressure, if its wearing on the outsides it means it has not enough pressure, if it wears in the middle it has too much pressure, as a general guide 32psi is used at most tyre shops, extra 100kg does not make much differance to a 2 ton vehicle, otherwise you would be changing tyre pressure every time you fill up your fuel tank!!!!

What are the tyre pressures for a 1994 Hyundi Excel

Check on the door frame or the door edge itself. It should have a sticker that has recommended tyre pressures for your particular vehicle. If the sticker is gone, then I would recommend calling a dealer to see what the specific tyre pressures are for that vehicle.
