Tyre Pressure Guide

Recommended pressures by terrain

💡 Always re-inflate tyres to highway pressure before driving on tar. Carry a portable compressor and a tyre pressure gauge.

🛣️ Tar / Highway

Normal road driving

SUV

2.2 – 2.4 bar

4×4

2.2 – 2.6 bar

Sedan

2.0 – 2.2 bar

💬 Follow the manufacturer's recommended pressure on the door placard. Slightly higher for towing or heavy loads.

🪨 Gravel / Dirt Roads

Farm roads, gravel passes

SUV

1.8 – 2.2 bar

4×4

1.8 – 2.2 bar

Sedan

1.8 – 2.0 bar

💬 Reduce by ~0.2–0.4 bar from highway pressure. Improves grip and absorbs corrugations. Check every few hours.

🏖️ Sand / Beach

Dune driving, beach access

SUV

1.0 – 1.4 bar

4×4

0.8 – 1.2 bar

Sedan

N/A

💬 Low pressure increases the tyre's footprint and reduces sinking. Re-inflate before hitting tar. Carry a compressor!

🌧️ Mud

Wet conditions, river crossings

SUV

1.4 – 1.8 bar

4×4

1.2 – 1.6 bar

Sedan

N/A

💬 Lower pressures help the tyre flex and grip in mud. Drive at a steady pace — don't stop in deep sections.

🏔️ Rocky Terrain

Mountain passes, 4×4 trails

SUV

1.6 – 2.0 bar

4×4

1.4 – 1.8 bar

Sedan

N/A

💬 Lower pressure lets the tyre wrap around obstacles, reducing sidewall damage. Go slow and pick your line.

⚠️ Disclaimer: These pressures are general guidelines only. Actual recommended pressures depend on your specific vehicle, tyre size, load weight, temperature, and tyre condition. Always consult your vehicle manufacturer's manual and tyre placard for accurate specifications.
