 Here are a few points to remember while getting tyres filled;

Fill tyres when cold – if the tyre temperature increases, the air pressure inside the also increases, and when tyres get cold air pressure drops. Keeping 1 or 2 PSI above the normal pressure should be fine as recommended tyre pressure from the manufacturer is mentioned for cold tyres. It is advisable to fill your tyres when the weather is comparatively cold. 

Check the accuracy of the air filling pump – At times the air filling pumps at petrol pumps are not properly maintained giving a false reading of the tyre pressure. This leads to your tyres being filled to either lower or higher than the actual pressure which may prove harmful to your vehicle. So it is better to select a pump where the air-filling pump is accurate.

Fill tyres in unloaded condition – While checking the car tyre pressure, ensure that it is the car is empty with no passengers. If air is filled with passengers sitting inside then tyre pressure shows a false reading. 

Take precautions while driving on the highway – if you are driving your car on a highway, you should not get tyre pressure checked in between the journey when tyres are hot and have run a long distance. This will give a false high reading as tyres are hot. 

Be aware of puncture shops– Sometimes when you go to puncture shops to get your tyres repaired, they tend to overinflate tyres which could prove dangerous.
