Recommended pressures assume cold tyres, meaning the car has been standing for a few hours or driven less than a couple of miles. Driving warms the air inside and raises the reading, so topping up at the end of a motorway journey leaves you under inflated once things cool. Tyres lose pressure naturally over time even without a puncture, which is why a monthly check is the usual advice.
Under inflated tyres wear out at the shoulders, use more fuel, take longer to stop and run hot, which is what leads to a blowout at speed. Over inflated tyres wear down the centre and reduce the contact patch, so grip suffers in the wet. Both are also MOT advisory territory when the wear pattern becomes obvious.
Most manufacturers publish a higher pressure for a fully laden car, which matters for holidays, towing and van use. Our figures are the standard fitment recommendation, and the plate in your door jamb or fuel filler flap is the definitive reference because it lists the laden figures for your exact car too.

Often not. Many cars specify a higher pressure at one end to account for weight distribution, and cars with staggered tyre sizes almost always differ.
Usually on the driver's door jamb, inside the fuel filler flap, or occasionally in the glovebox. It is the definitive source because it also lists laden pressures for your exact vehicle.
