Pressure for 182 alloy on 1.2

[DanEdser]

what pressures do I need to pump into these tyres? just fitted em and seems they are flat... my handbook says 2 bar but that would be for a standard 14" steel wheel... these are 16"s

 

[DanEdser]

32psi sound about right?

thats what i would go for, maybe a psi or two less so its not as stiff a ride

got a set of wheels now then ?

I normally do 30 front 28 rear.
Need more on the front for the weight of the engine. Not that this really applies on 1.2's :rasp:

standard pressure is fine. weight of the car doesn't change because of the size of wheel

IK but the tyres are different sizes, thought that might affect something
