Why does 175/60 R15 pressure vary?
Even though many cars share the 175/60 R15 tyre size, the recommended pressure depends on:

- Load: Carrying passengers or luggage significantly increases the required pressure on the rear tyres.
- Handling: Manufacturers tune tyre pressure to achieve specific steering response and comfort levels.
