hmmmm, i dont know, i have been putting 45psi in for the past 2 years or so, dont know where that figure came from but i always put that in.
it all depends on the size, just saying 14inch doesnt help
And this belongs in the LL why? Perhaps the Punto section would be a safer bet

Unlikely, a lot of tyres have a maximum safe pressure of 40psi
45 psi is waaaayyyy to much, will give increased wear in the centr of the tyre. iirc when i had my punto tubro wheels on my bravo i was using 32 front and 31 back
I'm using 27 front and 26 rear on 15" (195/50/15) and it's perfect.
45psi is way too much, quite possibly lethal... too much stress... 1 pothole...

why dont you just look on the side of the tyre?
i run 32psi on 185-50-14's.i can assure you on that size very few are going to beyond 34psi in recommended pressure.
you will be wearing the tyres faster and not getting the benefit of the grip.were you not mentioning wanting better tyres since the car didnt seem to grip well?............................................

Your only meant to overinflate the tyres slightly if you are off on the motorway or constant fast driving!
