Tyre pressure

[ak16v]

So what should the Psi be on a valver with 17" rims 205/40/17?

Same as the 185/55/15?

 

[BRUN]

yes, unless you want it a little harder to protect your wheels, or if you prefer the ride

32 psi then?

Tyre preasure is not dependent on ur wheel size - only the weight of the car! If the weight of the car goes up - so should the preasure... hense the laden and unladen preasures on most charts.

I actually phoned Pirelli when I was changing wheel sizes on my old 205 - they were very helpfull.

Running too high you may loose a little grip, run to low and ride will suffer and so will fuel consumption... (to an extent)
