Add +0.3 bar to the prescribed inflation pressure when the tyres are warm. However, recheck that the value is correct with the tyre cold. With snow
tyres, add +0.2 bar to the pressure recommended for standard tyres. When running at speeds higher than 160 km/h, inflate tyres to full-load pres-
sures. If there is a TPMS system, add +0.1 bar to the prescribed pressure. 175/65 R15 84T tyres do not come with a TPMS system.
