What you need

  • Reliable tyre-pressure gauge
  • Air pump or compressor if adjustment is needed

Step by step

  1. 1

    Identify the wheel and tyre package

    The cited BM5FS reference distinguishes 205/60R16 and 215/45R18 configurations.

  2. 2

    Confirm the placard

    Read the pressure label on the individual vehicle before making an adjustment.

  3. 3

    Check the CarFactBook exact-code table

    Use the linked BM5FS reference to avoid mixing the 16-inch and 18-inch values.

  4. 4

    Measure when cold

    Take readings before extended driving for a useful cold-pressure comparison.

  5. 5

    Adjust by axle

    Apply the front and rear values for the matching factory configuration, then measure again.

  6. 6

    Inspect abnormal loss

    If one tyre is repeatedly lower than the others, check for a leak or valve problem rather than repeatedly topping it up.

Important: Use the individual vehicle placard as the final pressure specification, especially if wheels or tyres have been changed.
