Tyre pressure for a 195/45/15

[Ben P]

My car had 165/60/14 tyres on rsi alloys as standard. The recommended pressure was 2.2 bar all round (About 22-23 PSi)

Ive now bought 15s with 195/4/15 tyres and theres nothing on the tyre to tell you the pressure.



Cheers

My 195/45/15 tryes say 44psi maximum, i usually have them on 40 all round. Hope that helps.

Not sure - i run my 185/55/15s on about 40 psi - the tyres state max of 51 psi....does anyone know if they are over/under inflated?

Wouldve thought your tyres ben would be similar - what make are they?

arnt the dynamiques 185/55 15" mine are on 32psi front 30 rear and 35 spare

i thought the spare should have been in the middle of the two, because if you get a puncture, one of the wheels will be quite considerably over inflated



the pressures should be between 30 and 35 psi



thought it is always a good idea to get a tyre specialist/fitter to check the pressures - everyone knows that over inflated tyres in the winter are a recipe for disaster

When I got my 195/45/15s fitted the bloke at the garage (that only does wheels, tyres and exhausts so he knows his stuff) said that they should be all at 30psi.

all the above figures are fine, i find the best is 36 front and 35 rear, but obviously you might find different depending on how you like the car to handle
