What tyre pressures are people putting in their 1.9 Sportings?

The book says 2.6 bar for the fronts and 2.3 for the rears, this is 38 psi at fronts and 33 at the rears. This seems quite high to me.

Any advice would be good or should I just go with the book pressures?

Cheers

Alex

thats spot on, keep them at that pressure

And what about Sporting 1.4 16V?

no idea... but I know the diesel engine is heavy, and the tyres are XL (extra load) so they have stiffer sidewalls.....with such a low profile and a large weight the pressure has to be high, it'd be interesting to know if the 1.4 has XL tyres on it..... have a look on the sidewall and post back

Yes, I checked tyres and they have Extra load mark.

I can't understand why there is not information at all about tyre pressure on 1.4 Sporting

I'd just make it the same as the 1.9 then... the overall weight of the car won't be much different.....

lol......well the tyre pressures can be found in the book that comes with the car on the back page??
Tyre pressures for a 1.4 16 valve sporting are 34.8 psi Front......and 32 psi Rear

Why do very few people read the hand book? Most of the answers are there :bang:

Problem is that here in Macedonia they don't have manual for GP Sporting 1.4 16V at all, they are giving standard manual and there are present information only for 1.2 and 1.4 8V petrol models, not for 1.4 16V Sporting.

In the UK we only get one manual that covers all versions and all optional equipment of the car.
