How To Read Tyre Pressure Label Stickers


Reading tyre pressure label stickers is an essential skill – but something that is easy to do. It relays vital information regarding the correct air pressure for your tyres. Which when set correctly help with your safety on the road, as well as the longevity of your tyres.

Locate the tyre pressure label sticker.

The tyre pressure label is normally found at the bottom of the driver's side door jamb. If you can't find it there, check your handbook or contact the manufacturer's dealership for some help.

Read the recommended tyre pressure.

The label will display show what the recommended tyre pressure is for your vehicle. It will have separate values for the front and rear. As well as a standard pressure and ‘laden’ pressure (i.e. the pressure the tyres need to be when your car is fully loaded)

Check the load capacity.

The label will also give you some useful additional information, such as the maximum load capacity for each tyre. Make sure that the load capacity of the tyre is sufficient for the weight of your vehicle.

Check the speed rating

The tyre pressure label may also display the speed rating for each tyre. This rating indicates the maximum speed that the tyre can safely handle. The speed rating of your tyres must be appropriate for your vehicle and the driving conditions.

Step 5: Check for any additional information.

Finally, the pressure information may also include extra things such as the tyre size, type, and manufacturer's name. It's important that the tyre size and type are appropriate for your vehicle.
