How to Check and Maintain the Tyre Pressure on Your Ford C-Max Tyre Pressure

Cool Down: Ensure tyres are cold (driven less than 2 miles).
Unscrew: Remove the valve cap from the tyre valve.
Measure: Press your gauge onto the valve stem firmly.
Compare: Match reading to the table above or your door placard.
Adjust: Add air if low; release air if high (using the pin in the valve).
Cap: Replace the valve cap securely.

Understanding the Importance of Proper Tyre Pressure for Your Ford C-Max Tyre Pressure

Maintaining the correct tyre pressure is essential for the longevity of your tyres and fuel efficiency. Under-inflated tyres can lead to overheating and premature failure, while over-inflation results in a harsh ride, reduced traction, and uneven tread wear.

Maintaining the Ideal Tyre Pressure for Your Ford C-Max Tyre Pressure: Dos and Don'ts

Do check pressures when tyres are cold (driven less than 2 miles).
Do use a reliable gauge; gas station gauges can be inaccurate.
Don't bleed air from hot tyres; pressures naturally rise when driving.
Don't ignore the spare tyre check.

Winter vs. Summer Tyre Pressures

In winter, for the Ford C-Max Tyre Pressure, consider adding 0.2 bar (3 PSI) to the standard pressures if you are using winter tyres, as cold air causes pressure to drop.

5-Point Tyre Safety Check

Pressure: Check all 4 tyres + spare monthly.
Condition: Look for cuts, bulges, or embedded objects.
Tread: Legal minimum is 1.6mm; recommended replacement at 3mm.
Valves: Ensure caps are tight to prevent dirt ingress.
Alignment: uneven wear indicates tracking issues.
