The proper tire inflation pressure will vary with the tires on the vehicle. It is printed on the sidewall of the tire. The pressure listed w/ the vehicle is ONLY for the tires that originally came w/ the car. Always refer to the tire for the correct pressure. And check them at least once a month. Underinflation causes an extreme ammount of wear on the sidewalls of the tire and also causes heat buildup that could result in a blowout. Get a good gage and keep it in the car. I have one in every vehicle I own. And check them regularly.

Not sure what a vauxhall tigra is... a car or tire?

but cars usually have a recommended pressure in manual and placed under boot(trunk for nonTexans) or driver side door jamb.

The tire itself will have a marking stating max pressure as well(Europe/US requirement).

And quite often the car and tire manufacturer's do not match!

Depending on the tires and your driving habits... Using non standard replacements I'd go with the tire's recommendation and suffer the ride.

Going to or from mountains changes your pressures...

Readings increase when tire has been used or setting in sun.

So preferably cool shaded tires should be filled to manufacturers recommended level(for ride comfort)or up to AND NOT exceeding amount listed on the tire itself.

Recall a few years back with all those tires popping and SUV's flipping over... under inflation was a primary culprit.

Mostly under inflation reduces gas mileage(and life of tire) while over inflation(slight! ) increases gas mileage(if NOT blowing) while INCREASING stopping distance.

Now aren't you sorry you asked?

Oh please simply check monthly once you know the magic number. They well be losing air.

Check HOT and see that the numbers go up a few pounds.

Invest ten or fifteen dollars on a quality air gage(it'll have a case- they will measure accurately forever).

Go to mountains and tailgate less than you are used to... plus down hill requires greater distance to stop- it is a gravity thing.
If at altitude and properly inflated returning to sea level will make you under inflated by several pounds.

No gage? Then if middle of tires wearing you're over inflated.
If sidewalls wearing you're under inflated.

Happy inflating! Again that sounds slightly wrong hmmm. My blow up partner agrees(used for mandatory car pool lanes only).

Good travels, happy tyring.

Blimey a limey! there on the door jamb or under the consol arm rest lid. Or you will find the tyre pressures in the bloody owners manual. Just Kidding Man. We talk all different down in Texas you'all. Around 2.0 ATU or 32 PSI

Check out the tyre pressure guide next to the air point at a garage!

The tyre rigidity is relative to the tyres on the wheels... in case you seem on the tyres, you will desire to be sure some moulded writing, and someplace it relatively is going to say something like 36 psi or 40 4 psi etc... Thats the max rigidity you employ.
