Volvo V40 Tyre Pressure
Ensuring that your Volvo V40 tyres are maintained at the correct tyre pressure is an important piece of car maintenance.
Depending on your tyre size, you may find that the correct tyre pressure required will vary.
Tyre Pressure Checks
It is important to frequently check the tyre pressure of your car. Particularly before a long drive.
When driving on a tyre that is not inflated to the correct tyre pressure, you will find that the performance levels of your tyres will lessen.
Making sure you have the correct tyre pressure is a crucial maintenance task.
Maintaining the correct tyre pressure also helps to reduce the levels of tyre wear and can bring down your fuel costs.
Car tyres that are either under-inflated or over-inflated tend to wear down faster and more unevenly.

Tyre Pressure Label Sticker.
We would always recommend checking the tyre pressure label sticker on your own Volvo V40 to ensure you are inflating to the correct pressure.
This label is specific to your car and can usually be found at the bottom of the driver's side door jamb.
The label will give you the relevant information you need when working out the manufacturer recommended pressure level for your vehicle.
It will have separate values for the front and rear. As well as a standard pressure and ‘laden’ pressure (i.e. the pressure the tyres need to be when your car is fully loaded)
