Hi I'm using 185 55 15 tyres and I usually pump it up with 250kpa, is this too much and will over inflate the tyres? Bcs on Google it says should pump 220kpa?

QUOTE(zeng @ Mar 11 2023, 09:52 AM) Maximum pressure permitted by tyre manufacturers are always embossed/printed on the external sidewall of any tyre. Thank you explaining everything.Yours is likely 350 kpa MAXIMUM, which hasn't been breached with a 250kpa! 220kpa is the minimum tyre pressure recommended by your car manufacturer for its specific design load. This design load is well below that of a 250kpa load rating. This is not over-inflation per se, as far as the tyre is concerned. I would say there is tyre over-pressure for the vehicle design load, which technically is harmless and NOT 'dangerous' as often expounded. Internet has been confusing and misleading in interpreting 'tyre' Over Inflation and/or 'vehicle load' Over Inflation. |

Wta when taking car to tyre shop for alignment and balancing do I need to tell the guy that I change my tyre spec to bigger tyres so it’s different from manufacturer spec or it doesn’t matter???
