Where on my Stilo Abarth 2.4 will I find the tyre pressures? I've no idea what they are.
Thanks

Tyre pressures
Tyre pressures are shown in the handbook. If you don't have one, you can download one from the forum downloads section here:

:yeahthat: Unlike some manufacturers, FIAT don't put a tyre pressure label on the car.

36psi (2.5bar) if on 17" alloys.
Different types of wheels and tyres require different pressures.
I have a full set of 225/45/17 Dunlop F1 Eagles(GSD3) fitted to Blades on our Multiwagon, 38psi front and back gives great results.

Mine are 205/55 R16 91v - handbook says 23psi. Anyone confirm this is right?
Thanks.
Thanks.
As I recollect the handbook advises 2.2bar/34psi.
IMO 23 psi is far too low. Experiment with pressures between 32 & 34 all round to see which suits your tyres & you best.

Link - just put your registration in and result. Probably only works for UK cars, sorry guys
Thankyou! Mine came up as:
Tyre Size Front (BAR)Front (PSI)Rear (BAR)Rear (PSI)
205/55V16 BAR2.3 PSI33 BAR 2.1 PSI30
Hubby had rang Kwikfit this morning and they said 30psi, so thats ok.

I might trying upping mine then. Is it handling, or MPG that noticed the difference Shadey?
Both.
Just telling someone to put *this* amount of air in your tyres because you drive *this* vehicle is wrong. Tyre/wheel size, load and driving style dictate the pressure required. An experienced tyre fitter will give you a much better idea of the pressures needed. I took my car back twice to have a free tyre pressure check once I'd had the tyres fitted. They can tell if more or less pressure is required by looking at the tyre once it has a few miles on it. Experience is everything and makes a big difference to handling and MPG.
My advice is get your tyres checked regulary by a professional and let him/her tell you the pressures your tyres require.

You can also check for correct tyre pressures with a temperature guage. If the pressure is correct, the temperature after a run should be the same across the tread width. Hotter in the middle would indicate too high pressure and colder in the middle too low pressure.
The Kwik Fit site obviously only deals in 'generic' models. Just keyed in my Schumi and got the wrong pressures (the 18" tyres have a recommended pressure 4psi higher at the front than the generic Abarth figure).
