Tyre Pressures

**Adamant** · 20th September 2005, 10:25

I've just realised that I haven't done my tyre pressures since I picked up the car!

They still look pretty full but I guess I should give them a top up. Anyone know what the tyre pressure is for a 1.8 Club?

Up to 3 persons = 32 psi front and rear.

Full load = 33 psi Front and 42 psi rear.

See this post for a link to manuals for download..... the tyre pressures are on page 90 of the 2003 edition.

Electronic manual is useful for when I'm at work!

I stick 40 all round in mine, stops it wallowing on the corners.

I use 35psi all round on my 2.2 Direct SRi and find it's altogether more responsive on twisty roads.

I adjusted them after I'd been on the Michelin web site - they state 35psi all round for this car (in normal use), although I've Goodyears on mine.

Try it, and see what you think!

Have you noticed any change in fuel economy?

I just had 4 yoko's fitted and the guy put 36psi all the way round

most tyre fitters use the rim size as i guide for tyre presseures i.e 17" double it and to find 34 psi and so on saves them having to no every model and manufacturers..
