(G) Tyre pressure

kingdazza11 · 24-04-2010

I had some toyo tyres fitted on my punto Toyo T1-R's 15"

What should the tyre pressures be?

dave · 24-04-2010

35 front 33 rear (psi)
35 all round if car fully loaded

all the edges of your tyres will wear out and you will use too much petrol if you do that, trust me am running 15" toyos on 2 of our puntos, one for quite a few years

The lower pressures are for safety of handling.

At the higher pressures the car will feel more 'pointy'

they go side ways round roundabouts with the low presure

Isn't that the correct method of negotiating a roundabout then? Full speed in, steer in and lift off, steer with lift-off oversteer until pointing in roughly the right direction and then opposite lock and a boot full of accelerator?

Or have I just been playing too much Gran Tourismo?
