188. Tyre pressure
Tyre pressure is the amount of air pressure inside a vehicle's tyre. Correct tyre pressure helps the tyre maintain its intended shape and contact with the road and is important for handling, braking, tyre wear and fuel consumption.
Tyre pressure should be checked regularly and adjusted to the pressure specified by the vehicle manufacturer. The recommended pressure can vary according to the vehicle, tyre size and load, and the front and rear tyres may require different pressures.

How often should tyre pressure be checked in Belgium?
Belgian federal mobility guidance recommends checking tyre pressure at least once a month because tyres naturally lose air over time.
Which tyre pressure should you use in Belgium?
Use the pressure prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer. The correct pressure can differ between vehicles and may also vary according to tyre size, axle and vehicle load.
Why should Belgian drivers maintain correct tyre pressure?
Correct tyre pressure supports safe and predictable vehicle behaviour and helps limit unnecessary tyre wear and fuel consumption. An underinflated or otherwise incorrectly inflated tyre should be adjusted to the manufacturer's specified pressure.
