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

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
