Tyre Pressure

[AliasOmega]

Just wondering if anyone can help?? Does anyone know wot the tyre pressures should be for the Clio 182.

 

[Leeshez]

I put 32 all round in mine. No idea if it right or not but hey.

 

[stu8v]

34F 32R

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

same as above



34Fr , and 32R

the correct pressures as per the manual for the 182 are 33psi front and 30psi rear.

I checked mine last night as my nsf looked a bit "thin."

Turned out the nsf was at 14psi and osr was at 20!!!

All sorted now, 28/26

As above:

Manual states: 33F 32R day-to day, 34F 32R motorway.

Apparently, since then, renault have changed the pressures from whats above...

Can anyone confirm this?

Im trying out Freds suggestions for tyre pressures.

 

[Friction]

ive dropped my tyres considerably, to around what fred suggested a while ago (although ive now forgot), and on the 17s i dont notice any increase in wear, but the difference in grip over standard tyre pressures is easily noticeable.

 

[Fred@BTM]

thankyou

 

[fizzy_drink]

What about yer sidewalls chaps....?

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

Whats Freds suggestion?

 

[Fred@BTM]

drop your pressures to 30psi max (front) and 27psi max (rear)

this suits my driving style the best, best to experiment to what suits you



(unless youre running sh*tty PE2s, these need like 40PSI in them to stop the sidewalls falling apart!!!)

 

[Mike@Rentech]

2.3 front and 2.1 rear (Bar)

Think they have been changed recently to 2.8 Bar front and 2.3 Bar rear to cover the PE2s just like Fred says.

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

Really?

So Renault now recommend 40PSI front, and 30PSi rear on the PE2s?

Doesnt your steering feel really heavy though?

nope, as i said it suits my driving style

BUT with 182s running sh*tty PE2s on track you NEED to pump them upto 38psi + front to stop sidewall scrub

(funny, i thought these fancy tyres were supposed to have stiff sidewalls???)

ive seen loads of people wear all the writing off the outer shoulder on the front left on track

Phunkey, its not what the bods at Renault reommend, this is what i suggest, but dont go trying 40psi in your front tyres on the road LOL!!! I really hate PE2s

 

[Friction]

heavy steering? worried about sidewalls?

pfft, pussies

seriously though, steering doesnt get much heavier, and its worth it - but as fred said its down to driving style and preference. Do you like to park your car, or drive your car?

Theres a lot of truth in this. i dropped my pressures down a couple of PSI at Oulton Park the other week and things were a lot better.

ive always run at 30f 28r in all my cars
