Checking the air pressure in the tires (VW Golf 1)

If the car is moving and the air pressure in the tires is very low, the tires will deform greatly and become too hot. This can lead to their complete failure, the outer layer of rubber can separate from the rest of the material. The values indicated in the table correspond to the latest technical data. The pressure is indicated in kg / sq. cm.

Measuring air pressure

After just a few kilometers of continuous driving, the air pressure in the tires increases by 0.2-0.4 bar. Such an increase in pressure as a result of heating is already provided for in the recommendations, so do not lose sight of this. It is best to have your own pressure measuring device so that you can measure the air pressure before the trip, when the tires are still cold.
