Recommended tire pressure discrepancies
- Thread starter shahryaran
- Start date
Recommended tire pressure in the app and on the main MCU screen is fully customizable and can either be a. reset to generic defaults or b. set to whatever you want (artifically low, or exceedingly high).
Depending on how its set, it will also shift the TPMS low and high pressure alert thresholds.

I'm talking about the recommended. It now gets set to the pressures you have when you reset/relearn. You need to use an accurate gauge to set the pressures then relearn TPMS and the recommended values will be set. Don't be surprised if they differ from the guage by 1 or 2 PSI though.

It is still recommended, but now by the owner or the tinkerer (or one and the same).
-Tesla has their multiple recommendations

What ever you go with, I would recommend not to exceed the you ready for this, Max pressure recommended on the tire. Ensure you account for rotating heat expansion.
Picture is an example. Resort to your tire for official max pressure.
So, what happens if you exceed this? I've always run on the high side in order to obtain the best efficiency while on the road, Then one day on our MX, started to feel funny with the steering wheel moving just a hair at slow speeds and have this vibration at speed. Found out that in the middle of one of the tires it appeared the bead was separating and the tire was ever so slightly bulging. So now, I just leave them at the recommended tire pressure.

Different tires have different inflation recommendations, and the car can’t know what tires you have mounted. For example, my winter tires (Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3) are recommended at 45 psi. The OEMs are 42 psi IIRC.
