I had 2 new 195/55/15 tyres fitted to the front. The tyres were pumped to 30 psi by the garage but looked very underinflated, they tyre wall between the rim and ground was about half of the tyre wall at the top of the tyre. Is this normal?

I'm on 36psi all round and they still look underinflated.

What pressure do you pump to?

Modern tyres, especially low-profile often look almost 'flat'. If your tyre looks round then it is way over-inflated! Stick to the Skoda recommendation for your tyre size and load.

I've looked at other car's tyres and almost every car has tyres rounder than mine so I was wondering if my tyres were underinflated.
