PSI IN TYRES

[Scuba_Steve]

whats the best psi to put in a 204/40/17 ?

 

[stewart]

The PSI i had when i had a blow out made for fun driving!

 

[DrR]

PSI is a measurement, not a physical, thing.

I'd suggest putting compressed air in.

 

[Hutchie]

20% oxygen... etc



30ish touch less really

 

[frank1990]

30 psi mate all round

 

[172Ben]

i run 34 front and 30 rear, slightly more in the front to compensate for the engine

 

[cat171]

Coco.... What tyre pressures have you been running ?

 

[aucky]

i have 31 front, 30 rear, but i have alight engine.
Its set relatively high (considering car weight and power) for high motorway speeds and often carrying passengers.

204? dont they come in 205?

 

[cat171]

^ lol, he must mean 205 yeah.

Maybe we should start selling it on eBay? 'Performance PSI, as used in F1', or 'Green PSI, for 10% improved fuel economy!'

Kerching!

You do know when tyres get hot from long distances that the air inside expands?
Meaning if your on a long drive, the tyre pressure increases so it's higher than normal.


I'm running on 172 alloys and tyres in a 1.2 16v so I have mine set at 31 front/29 rear, a little lower on longer than 40 minute plus journeys.

32 all round why?

 

[Gavin.]

I used to work in an AA Service Centre about 8 yrs ago we always put 32 psi in every car tyre. Guess it just stuck in my head

Yes, but higher pressure is recommended for high speed or high load.

lmao i went from Omagh till cookstown 22miles on this one road doing 85mph, was scary in the wet, had no grip and fought maybe the tyres needed bumped up? lol! so 32? ok then

I'm asking because you've had the wheels on it for ages so why ask now ?
