Sifus, i need your input on this 
Since I got my EB about 3 months ago, I have yet to pump any air into the tyres on my own. I never thought of doing so since the tyres still look pretty well inflated up till now.
I got a little paranoid about it somehow so a few days ago, I decided to just go to the petrol station to check if my tyres needed more air.
I went ahead and key in the recommended tyre pressure (210kPa).
But the moment i cucuk the nozzle in, the pressure gauge showed 250kPa, which it then slowly deflated until it was 210kPa.
But at this point, the tyres looked like they were pretty deflated and lack of air. So I just pump it back up to the original pressure (250kPa).
Anyway so my question is, should the tyre pressure be 210kPa or 250kPa? What pressure do you guys usually pump?
Why did proton pump it to higher than the recommended pressure when the recommended pressure is supposed to only be 210kPa??
Thanks in advance for your replies
what time did u pump the tyre? after a long drive? 210kPa is recommended Cold Inflation.. meaning in the earliest of morning when its chilly as hell.. not in the afternoon and after a short drive.. tyre pressure is subjective.. and a tyre that looks rounded is probably incorrectly inflated..Since I got my EB about 3 months ago, I have yet to pump any air into the tyres on my own.
