Tyre pressures?

Post by mmh »

Hi,

Could someone tell me what the tyre pressures are for these wheels:

Also is there a way of finding the pressure from the info on the tyre wall?

Cheers,
Mo :?:

cant exactly see from the picture but if they are theres tyre info on the petrol cap flap. should be on the tyre wall somewhere though it usually is.

I believe it's 28 psi but I usually put in about 30.

Some bigger cars are 36!

DON'T put in what it says on the sidewall, that's the maximum pressure :shock:

Cheers for the info.

Unfortunately there's no sticker in the fuel cap, there is a sticker near the passenger lock but all the writings rubbed off.

I'll put in 30psi which sounds about right.

Cheers,
Mo
