182 tyre pressure, quick answer

What pressure needs to be in my tyres on my 182, front looking very flat?

[clioman]

look in service book or car manual, or even tyre wall.

yup das ist correct

 

[AliasOmega]

i did 33 all round, or then again whatever i can be arsed putting in. I find the handling too light so i let them down

 

[Jamie _Swales]

Cheers 4 that guys, first time iv checked tyre pressure since getting it. Front wheels dont spin as much now and seems to be quicker, as they were quite flat

 

[Liam]

yep should be 33 psi front 30 rear on the 182

I think Roy has been playing around with tyre pressures and he found 34 front 30 rear was a big improvement on his 182 cup

The tyre wall wont be much use unless you have previously written the pressures required by a 182 on there.

Which isnt actually such a bad idea...

i found that 33 is too high on my 172, the tyres i have just replaced were worn down to the wear indicators around the centre of the tyre

FYI ....

This isnt for the road but I had some advice from an instructor on my last track day. Hot tyres at 34 front and 38 rear. It reduced the understeer on the track and made for a better balanced drive.

35 front, 38 rear??? that instructor mustve been on the crack pipe during lunch!!!!

38 front (on track) and 32 rear is what id go for (sh*te PE2s)

 

[oldman]

Fred,

are you at Bruntingthorpe on Monday ? If so we will try both. He was trying to make it more tail happy to reduce understeer and it worked.

 

[Fred@BTM]

erm, depends what the "6ft pikey" is doing with the company vehicle, i assume ill be there!



its personnal preferance, and also depends on track, bruntingthorpe requires fairly high front pressures due to mainly high speed corners

 

[oldman]

well ... if anybody takes any corner above about 30 they are just being downright stupid .... maybe 35 on a track. All I can say is that I nearly hit 27 mph around Clearways and at those speeds the pressures worked. And the chap with the blue flag looked really excited too so I must have been going some.

 

[Fred@BTM]

you hooligan!!! you shouldnt be allowed on the roads or the racetrack

Oldman, your tyre pressures must work a treat! - http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=13&TopicID=179458&PagePosition=1http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=13&TopicID=179458&PagePosition=1
