Tyre pressure: practice and explanations

The pressure is controlled to cold tires and adjusts to the load according to the vehicle directions, including the spare wheel.

Tyre pressure

See the concept
Cold loading prescriptions
The pressure is controlled to cold tires and adjusts to the load according to the vehicle directions, including the spare wheel. Insufficient inflation increases friction and consumption; the material of the circle does not determine value.

Pneumatic pressure: the point to remember

The pressure is controlled to cold tires and adjusts to the load according to the vehicle directions, including the spare wheel. Insufficient inflation increases friction and consumption; the material of the circle does not determine value.

How to verify reasoning

Read the whole statement: identify the subject, the action and the conditions. Answer before opening the explanation, then compare the deciding point with the rule.

Now it's your turn01 / 2

True or false?

Tire inflation pressure should be checked periodically, including that of the spare wheel

Italian text

Si deve controllare periodicamente la pressione di gonfiaggio dei pneumatici, compresa quella della ruota di scorta

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: TRUE

The pressure is controlled to cold tires and adjusts to the load according to the vehicle directions, including the spare wheel. Insufficient inflation increases friction and consumption; the material of the circle does not determine value.

Now it's your turn02 / 2

True or false?

If you measure the inflation pressure of the tires when the tire is hot, you have a correct reading of the pressure values

Italian text

Se si misura la pressione di gonfiaggio degli pneumatici quando la gomma è calda, si ha una corretta lettura dei valori di pressione

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: FALSE

The reference measurement is made to cold tyres: the heat alters the reading. The pressure is controlled to cold tires and adjusts to the load according to the vehicle directions, including the spare wheel. Insufficient inflation increases friction and consumption; the material of the circle does not determine value.
