I recently bought a nearly new Yeti from a Skoda main dealer. I though the ride was a little firm but put it down to just being a different car - I had a Golf previously. On a whim I checked the tyre pressures tonight and found that they varied between 2.8 and 2.95 bar, the recommended pressure listed on the petrol cap says 2.1 bar.

I reset them and the ride is much smoother now. If I had been in an accident at the original pressures, would I have been at risk of not being covered by my insurance and legal problems as I understand that this can be the case if your tyres are underinflated. Is this correct?
