Question 6430

When driving on a freeway with your vehicle loaded, the tire pressure must be…

  1. the pressure recommended by the manufacturer.
  2. 10% higher.
  3. based on the brand of the shock absorbers.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: the pressure recommended by the manufacturer.

The pressure recommended by the manufacturer for that use. Many manufacturers give one value for a normal load and another for a maximum load, so if you are carrying a load, use the appropriate one. Increasing it by 10% on your own is not a rule, and the shock absorbers have no bearing on it. In the image, the trunk is full of luggage.
