Tyre pressure

[ifti]

I have the 18" Pescara's - ideally what PSI should my tyres be set at??

Its usually just me in the car - no heavy load etc.....

It says on your fuel flap - or it should do... or is it the inside of the B-pillar.  Its given in bar but I can't remember what it is.

2.6 bar which comes out as 37psi. I think

Ah, cheers.
Reason I needed it in PSI is I have this tyre pump I bought from Halfords ages ago with a digital display. You set the PSI and it fills to that PSI then cuts out automatically.
Then again, I cant remember how to reset the PSI cutout on it either now!

If it's just you then the recommended is 2.4 bar or 35psi.

Tyre pressure recommendations are on the inside of the fuel filler cap.

Remember though - the tyre pressures listed on the fuel flap are only a recommendation - and are determined and set for a "Mr Average" driver, and only for OEM tyres.  You are perfectly free to tweak the tyre pressures to counter your own personal driving styles, especially if you fit non-OEM tyres.

I personaly run my GTI at 42psi front and 37psi rear - and this gives an even tread wear rate across the entire width, on both directional and asymmetric tyres.

Cheers guys.
Good to see you back T_T

Just checked my pressure - and all my wheels were at 29psi!!!!!!!
First time Ive checked them since buying the car..

Ive put all the wheels to 37psi now and will see how things go.....

36 all round, seems to give a good balance between comfort and performance. Only really ever me in the car....if Dawn French ever got in I would have to pump them up a bit...
