33psi on the front and 30 on the rear, thats when they are on a 172 though.

 

[S Garbett]

Should i keep them at that then or knock off a couple of psi??

Steve

 

[DrR]

Wouldn't like to say, but i'd probably try slightly lower.

put in what it says on the tyre itself, cos when they make the tyres they dont make thousands of different individual ones for every type of car.

what??

when i had my 1.2 i used to run 32 up front and 30 out back. now i have 33/31 on the 172.

a 1.2 clio should be 29psi front and 30psi rear if you are on your own mainly in the car.....but if you have a fully car 31psi front 32psi rear

sorry, but i thought recommended pressures were there on the tyre for a reason, they dont list hundreds of different pressures on each tyre for all the different cars they might get fitted to, do they?

The car manufacturers set a recommended psi, the tyre manufacturers just state a maximum value ie. "Do not inflate above 60psi".

My Clio should have 32psi on the front - Same tyres on a mate's 206 need 40 on the front

 

[Peperami]

Lol, geordie what are you on about????

The same tyre could be fitted to a rear wheel drive car weighing 2 tons, and a front wheel drive car weighing a ton... why would you do what it says on the tyre sidewall???

The answer is 32 front 30 rear fella. lol

 

[Blue4Ever]

Yeah I run 32f 30r in my Turinis on a 1.4

Standard rule of thumb is set them to 30 all round if you dont know.

I set mine at 33 all round cause i do a fair bit of motorway driving to work and back
