The present invention relates to a method for determining a current range (26) of a motor vehicle (10) by a range-determining device (12) of the motor vehicle (10), comprising the steps of providing a predefined cold tire pressure value for a tire (20, 22) of the motor vehicle (10) by an electronic computing device (14) of the range-determining device (12);capturing a current cold tire pressure value of the tire (20, 22) by a capturing device (16, 18) of the range-determining device (12); determining a difference between the predefined cold tire pressure value and the current cold tire pressure value by the electronic computing device (14); generating a difference factor (DF) depending on the determined difference by the electronic computing device (14); and determining the current range (26) depending on a predefined range, which is dependent on the predefined cold tire pressure value, and on the difference factor (DF). Furthermore, the present invention relates to a computer program product, a computer-readable storage medium, a range-determining device (12), as well as to a motor vehicle (10).
