What I wonder is that last time the message came up I took it to the dealer and they said the tyre needs to be replaced. I believe them but I'm curious if I had pumped up the tyre and checked if it had not deflated the new tyre might not have been needed?
P.S.

required.

I'm fully aware that 2bar is 29psi.
Not sure what tyres you have on, but from memory my front tyres should be 2.5-2.7bar depending on load and 2.9-3.2 on the rear. I might be wrong, but only by 0.1 or so.
That's for 19" wheels and I know other sizes are slightly different, but I highly doubt 2bar.
