General Urgent Tyre Pressure Query.
I can only find one in the haynes for bravo and brava 36 psi rear and 33 for the front but thats 185/55/r15
oh and normal should be 32 all round
found it in the other porter manual
1910 JTD 185/60/r14 33.5psi or 2.3 bar however it says for most other sizes 36 psi
Decide for yourself.

higher in the rear sounds wrong.. Especially for the JTD which Haynes decided to ignore completly
Look at the list above photo from my book

Nevermind, found the Manual!
2.3 front, 2.3 rear under normal load. 33/33psi
2.3 front, 2.5 rear fully loaded. 33/36psi
Guess you and Haynes were right!
2.3 front, 2.3 rear under normal load. 33/33psi
2.3 front, 2.5 rear fully loaded. 33/36psi

lol well thats good my manual must be wrong DOH
higher pressure in the rear? thats very strange.
i usually run 35psi front 35psi rear at all times, or a couple more in the front if im doing a long motorway journey.

Exactly what I thought. Check your manual though - all models are equal front/rear for light load and .2-.3 bar extra in the rear
I assume that's because it's the same tyre pressures as for empty, just instead of amending them to adjust for it, they see what the pressure is with lots of people/ stuff in the boot. Makes no sense to me and I usually let a bit out of the back if I know I'm going to be carrying loads, don't like them to be too high I feel like the car's skating on ice

Long high speed run - needs the higher tyre pressure.
I always run mine a tad higher than recommended anyway (after someone suggested it for bigger wheels), but why higher on rear than front then? As I pointed out in the other topic, you can end up with a pressure approaching the maximum recommended sometimes and I still don't know if that's an absolute safe maximum or recommended safe maximum...........
