After I have adjusted all four tyres to manufactures recommended settings and reset the onboard system, a message appears saying 'tyre pressure registered.' Should I at this point drive the car to set...

I have a Nissan Pulsar N-Tec Dig-T Xtronic 1.2 which has done 30,000 miles. In the last few weeks I have been getting a warning on screen saying “Maintenance Tyres”. This happens immediately on starting,...

I recently bought an ex-demo Toyota Yaris Cross from my local Toyota dealer. When I checked the tyre pressures they were 32PSI all round. The manual says the rears should be 29PSI. I asked the dealer and...

I have a Toyota Yaris Cross and recently the in-car tyre pressure readout keeps showing a number of tyres as being below the required pressure.
However, after driving the car for a while, the tyre pressure...

How accurate are tyre pressure devices? I gave three different ones and they all give slightly different readings.

In response to another question recently asked on tyre pressure and temperature, I've just come back from a high speed Germany tour in 35-plus degrees heat where the PSI rose on my 911 Turbo S by as much...

Gay-Lussac's law of gases put simply is - in a given volume of gas (e.g in a tyre) the pressure is in direct proportion to the temperature. So as temperature increases so pressure increases and vice versa.
Therefore...

The tyre pressure warning came up on my Audi A3. I had it checked by a tyre fitter and they found no need to pump them up and reset the alarm. This happened a few more annoying times and it became quite...
