OK,what is your tyre pressure in 'Bars'? Vent

when I were a lad one winter it snowed so hard I put my hand out the living room window

Window?
I used to dream of living somewhere that had windows.
(well, at least ones that didn't have steel bars on them)

Forgot to say, if I use an air pump I add a few psi extra(usually 4 or so)to cover the air having heated up and increased the pressure from driving.Can always let some back out at home when its cooled down.

Alway add a bit extra to cover the loss when you remove the air hose.

A lot of tyres have it written on the side walls.

Although that may not be what the car requires. For example hubbys tires say 60psi on the sidewalls. His car requires 35psi. The one time a garage filled them to 60psi it made the car very difficult to control.

As above, thats likely a maximum not car specific as tyres are generally not car specific.They won't last long driving around at 80 psi but at least it will make parking easy .

I find most petrol stations give you a free voucher if you spend over £15 on petrol, they dont advertise it, but if you ask they will give you one.

I may be wrong (as per normal) (and usually on one of those analogue guage things rather than digital)

The air pressure is analogue. It is put through a pressure sensor which produces an analogue voltage and get converted to the digital readout via an ADC. An analogue display is often infinitely variable, a digital one has discrete steps. There are advantages and disadvantages in both though so it is difficult to say one is better that the other.
