Why does 205/45 R17 pressure vary?

Even though many cars share the 205/45 R17 tyre size, the recommended pressure depends on:

  • Vehicle Weight: A heavier car needs more air pressure to support its mass and maintain the tyre's shape.
  • 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.
