What happens to tyre pressures when the weather is hot and what pressure should I use for a 3 door Fiesta when temperatures are in the mid 20's C (as opposed to cooler weather)?
Thanks.

The pressure will increase slightly (though not sure if it would be noticeable) with the same amout of air in your tyres. You should keep the same pressure whatever the weather.

Thanks for that Ugly Bob. Someone said to me that there might be an increase, so I thought I'd better ask the experts.
