Tire pressure isn’t one-size-fits-all—adjust based on driving conditions to protect tires and optimize performance. For high-speed driving (e.g., highway trips), increase pressure by 2-3 PSI (within the vehicle’s maximum limit) to compensate for heat buildup and prevent underinflation. When hauling heavy loads or towing, add 4-6 PSI to support extra weight—overloading with standard pressure causes excessive heat and wear. In off-road driving, reduce pressure by 5-10 PSI to increase contact area and absorb impacts, but reinflate to recommended levels immediately after returning to pavement. For winter driving, cold temperatures lower pressure naturally—check and adjust weekly, and avoid overinflating (stiff tires reduce traction on ice). EV owners should follow manufacturer guidelines, as heavier batteries may require slightly higher pressure than gas cars. By tailoring pressure to specific scenarios, you reduce tire stress and extend lifespan.
