Tyre pressures was created by lightning
Just checked the tyre pressures on our 2020 Jimny and they were at 40psi all round.
l looked on the door pillar and it recommends 26psi front, 29psi rear.
On the Land Rover forum the discussion about tyre pressures is endless.
At the risk of starting another discussion, should l reduce the pressures to 26/29psi?

40 psi is way too much. I have 215/75/15 AT tyres and run them at 27 psi. Would prefer 26 but then have issues with the TPMS in cold weather so 27 for me.

NO!! 26/29 is too high, I found the low 20s to be better.
However, if you have TPMS the alarms will go off under 25.5psi, it becomes a balancing act.

If you have OEM tyres and a standard vehicle then you will not go far wrong with the pressure suggested by Suzuki. Manufacturers tend to spend a fortune trying to obtain the best performance out of every element on the vehicle, so the suggested pressure will be result of testing and consultation with the tyre producer. After that small changes up or down to your own personal preference are in order.
So yes is the short answer!

Without disappearing into the furthest reaches of the science standard tyres need standard pressure give or take a couple of psi.

The 29 psi for the rear is for fully loaded, normal use should be 26 psi all round for the Gen4. No need to over inflate to stop TPMS going off. When it gets cold weather just top them back up to 26 on a cold day and you'll be OK. My alarm has never gone off and I keep mine at 26.
When I picked it up new though they were at 36 all round, what a difference it made letting them down.

Thanks for the replies, l've been out and reduced the pressures to the recommended settings.
It will be interesting to see how it drives now. lt seemed OK before, but l am used to driving a Defender and not a normal car.

Mine are all set to 27psi cold which means they're 24 when it's freezing and the tpms doesn't trip. If I set them at 26psi cold, they trip the tpms on frosty mornings.

Driving from UK to Italy and back I had 34 PSI in mine - seemed to do the trick with 2 passengers and about 300kg of extra weight in the car (estimated).
Let them back down now to 31 with the car being empty and its usually just me driving. 235/75/15.

Well, l reduced the tyre pressures to the recommended settings and the Jimny is much nicer to drive, the ride is less choppy and the steering feels better.
Job done!!

That's strange, I have had my GEN4 for a couple of a weeks. I checked the tyre pressure recently and mine were all 41psi. I have dropped them down to the recommended 26psi all round.
You would have thought on the PDI that basic error would have been picked up???
