225-45-17 What Tyre pressures

[grumpano]

As above lads.Any ideas what pressures to put in them.Ive just changed them from 215's..

[Dwabo]

34 all round.. or under load, 34 front 36 for rears

[grumpano]

Where did you get those pressures from Dwabo old chap?

[Small Racer]

34/34 or 34/36 - is about right - also the manual gives the same pressure as for the original 215/50/17.

[Dwabo]

its in the manual i think.. always work on double your alloy/ wheel size and wont go far wrong..

[Dwabo]

p268 of my manual...

[grumpano]

Ta mate in my manual i cant find the 1.9 CDTI anywhere. Or am i thick..?

[Dwabo]

p265??

[Dwabo]

and i was lookin at the wrong page to begin with.. doh..
34 will be good all round... slightly increased to 36ish for a full load... although the manual states a bit higher for the rears..

[grumpano]

My manual doesnt list the 1.9 engine mate,I'm sure..Off to the car now to have another look...
