    4psi Rule For Tyre Pressure Check

    Uploaded by

    Armoured Comp
    The 4psi rule is a method to determine the optimal cold tire pressure by checking how much the pressure increases after an hour of driving. If the pressure increases more than 4psi, the starting pressure was too low and should be increased by 2psi. If it increases less than 4psi, the starting pressure was too high and should be lowered by 2psi. The goal is to have the pressure increase by exactly 4psi after an hour of driving. An example is provided.

    How to apply the 4psi rule:

    Use the recommended pressure on your tyre placard as a start point, drive for
    approximately one hour, stop and check the pressure. If it�s gone up by 4psi then
    your pressures are spot on. This is most unlikely on your first attempt!! So, if
    they have gone up by more than 4psi, your start pressure was too low. If it has
    gone up by less than 4psi, then your start pressure was too high. Adjust your
    pressures by 2psi in the appropriate direction and this will become your starting
    points for the next cold start.

    Let�s work through an example. Your starting pressure is 30psi cold. After one hour
    driving you check the pressures and they are:

    36psi � The increase is more than 4psi, so you should increase your cold starting
    pressure to 32psi and follow the process again to check the effect of your
    adjustment.

    32psi � The increase is less than 4psi, so you should lower your cold starting
    pressure to 28psi and follow the process again to check the effect of your
    adjustment.

    34psi � Spot on! No adjustment necessary.

    The 4psi method works on any terrain in any conditions. And with a little practice
    you will be able to get your pressures right quickly with fewer adjustments. Be
    sure to remember that when you drop your tyre pressures you also need to drop your
    speed to match. And you will need an air compressor to increase your tyre
    pressures.
