Tyre Pressures

[Lunner]

Got 195/45 15 tyres on a 1.2 mk1 ph2 clio

When i got em they sed they just pump them up to 30psi for all cars.

Anyone know what sort of pressure i shoudl be running?

i got 195/45/16 and im runnin 29psi all round

also how long should i give my new tyres to wear in?

Oi!

Stop hijacking me thread b*tch!!

run slightly higher up front cos of the weight of the engine.......32/30 is probably what most people run

its a measure of pressure not air so it doesnt matter what wheels and tyres you have...

So would that mean taht you use the same pressure as when it was on 13s, i wanted to know the answer to the same question withe same wheel/tyre size

 

[BRUN]

yes mate, same as when you ran 13s

but its all personal preference aswell, run 32/30 and see what you think...
