The tyre pressures on our Mondeo for towing are quite a bit higher than not towing so when we get on site and un-hitch should we lower the tyre pressures on the car until returning home and increase the pressure again?  I must admit I've never seen anyone else do this and it does seem to be a bit of a 'faff' - does anyone else inflate, deflate, inflate and so on or do you just leave the tyre pressures the same whilst away and deflate when returning home.

This is the first time away towing with the Mondeo and with our other car the difference in tyre pressure towing and driving solo are minimal so we've always left them high until returning home.  Any advice/thoughts appreciated.  Thanks everyone.

I Always inflate/deflate to stabilise the tow and safer solo driving. Also maximises tyre wear. Have seen a few do it. usually wusses with electric pump. I always carry a foot pump

we run ours at 32 front  - 34 rear for towing and 30 solo on both axles.we usually leave them inflated to towing pressure while away but if not towing for a while drop them back down.

i also carry a tyre inflator and not a foot pump
