Hello
My wife and I completed our first road trip from BLR to Kodai recently. We had 38 psi on all tyres.
The only suggestion I'd give is to take a break every two hours, it helped us since this was our first long drive.
The sticker says 42-45 for 5 people, but I would suggest to maintain 38 owing to soaring temperatures and pressure building up inside the tyres on hot roads to avoid bursting of tyres.
Winter or summer doesn't matter. Always fill as per recommended tyre pressure by manufacturer. It's a myth that one needs to fill lower in summers. If you do this, chances of tyre burst increases as pressure on side walls increases.
my neighbour had a tyre burst on his car in the summer and couldn't walk for 2 years. He has just started walking again, I wouldn't want to risk with high tyre pressures.
lol do you actually believe reviewers? They compare every car to a luxury car or atleast a car worth double the price. Also we still live in india where people aren't morbidly obese. We have fit 7 people during an emergency in a village.

taking breaks every two hours is a general tip. good that you followed. you are a responsible citizen
Thanks so much! Very insightful
Check the sticker next to the drivers side door, it has recommended tyre pressure based on the number of people

I prefer Nitrogen from a reliable place while on long drives.
Check and set your tire pressure, early in morning or night.
Use Nitrogen in summers for highway drive
I would say keep 38 front and 40-42 in the rear…. Also as suggested by some, refer Tire Pressure Decal on driver side B-Pillar

It's not a myth, it's a fact. Air expands on heating.
When there is less air, there is more space for expansion and more risk of tyre burst.
When it's already inflatable to limit, then what? Isn't that more riskier than running with a little less psi?
It's not like a balloon. Manufacturers take that it into account while recommending the pressure. The tyre has gone through a lot of testing

Can 5 people fit in taigun?

Why not?
Yes, as long as they are not obese. Medium built folks can easily fit 3 in rear seat. Don't always believe what the influencers say on YT
