When changing, the tires should be checked for damage and sufficient tread depth. After assembly, the air pressure check needs to be carried out.
The tire pressure always depends on the load of the vehicle. If there is too little air in the tire, the driving characteristics deteriorate. Too low a pressure is not only dangerous, but also leads to increased wear and increased consumption. Checking your tire pressure regularly - the ADAC recommends every two weeks - is also worthwhile from a financial perspective.

It should be noted that temperature affects pressure. Therefore, the tire pressure should be measured before starting or only after a short journey, otherwise the tire will heat up and the measuring device may show a pressure that is too high. When fully loaded, the tyres must have higher pressure. When the car is usually packed full, you should check it again before setting off.
