Re: tyre pressure

Check the Manual. Should be somethign along the lines of 36psi?


Edit: Found for a 1.9 38 psi front & 33 psi rear and for a 1.3 between 32 and 28? (Which seems low)

I've always kept my tyres on my cars between 30 - 34

Re: tyre pressure

well i recently looked this up as im going abroad this weekend and the manual stated for a medium load (or below 116kmph): 2.6bar front tyres (37psi) and 2.3 bar rear tyres (34psi). Or a full load (excess of speeds 116kmph+) 2.8bar front tyres (41psi) and 2.5 bar rear tyres (36psi)

hope this helps! Think im going to go somewhere inbetween the both! oh and 116kmph is around 100mph!
