Checking my tyres on my Volkswagen Tiguan 4motion 2.0 TDI DSG

Remember BB, that as the air temperatures go down over the next 3 months you might have to increse the pressures again.

Good news Beachball😊

It was and best thing it was free

Hi Hutch i will inflate the tyre pressures when it needed and thanks for your input

Also decided to buy a small Ring tyre compressor from Halford it will go into the Tiguan boot .

My last Tiguan had Hankook tyres and whilst the front were replaced at 31000 miles the rear still had 4mm of tread when I sold it at 37000 miles.

My current Tiguan has Hankooks with active TPMS fitted and I notice that the warning light comes on when the tyres are about 2 PSI under inflated and this morning when the temperature overnight had been 1 degree they had also reduced in pressure by 2 PSI since they were pumped up yesterday.

With my Sante Fe, when I changed tyres, a few years ago. I had a warning light on, I drove the car for about 200 yards, and light went out. 😃
Due to change tyre soon . Not sure about Hankook k117 or Goodyear Asm 3. So many different blends os the dunlop.

I’ve got a round Michelin one which my son handed up to me. A few years old now but does the job. But to be honest I tend to use my cycle track pump or a standard foot pump for the cars or the caravan. But neither of these would be suitable for you.

I find that the High pressure hand pumps are good for topping up our caravan tyres, Only do,it if we are away for about a 6 weeks round trip though.

Normally I found van tyres were pretty stable and didn’t need the adjustments car tyres do between towing or solo. Puzzled as to why there’s a 6 week window on the caravan tyres.

Due to the fact that I have Tyrepal monitors, I seldom have to top up the tyres. But if away on a "tour break" then might need to top up.

How do Tyrepal monitors affect the need to top up the tyres?

I can see that you don't need to use a conventional tyre gauge but leakage and changes in ambient temperature are no different to any other car/caravan.

I just mean that I can monitor the pressures and decide when to top up the pressures, I would let the pressures drop by say 3 psi difference between tyres before topping up.
