Tyre Pressures For MK2 172

[Gareth]

Need to check my tyre pressures today, standard wheels, standard conti tyres, what pressure? thanks in advance.

I normally run front and back at 33 psi (also standard wheels + Contis)

I was wondering this as well. Thanks for the advice.

i went for 32 in the front and 30 on the back in the end, acceleration seems easier and smoother, handling is more defined, funny how much difference it makes, its either that or my imagination.

Reno handbook actually says 33 psi front and 30 psi rear for normal use and 36 psi front and 32 psi rear for motorway use. Most of my driving is not quite normal around A/B class roads and I dont do a lot of motorways so 33 psi front and rear seems a good compromise to me and easier to remember!! LOL Dont believe a couple of psi is going to make that much diffrence for road use .... but on a track maybe yes?
