Author: hazzer1501, Location: BlackpoolPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:01 pm ---- got some new tyres for my 17inch tsw alloys , just wondering what tyre pressure they should be at ? and just wondering if anyone has seen the ross kemp advert where he goes to mexico , anyone know when its on lol ?
#2: Re: tyre question ! Author: Mrs_Howey, Location: WorthingPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:02 pm ---- I'm pretty sure the new ross kemp program starts on the 21st i want to watch it
Sorry i can't help on the tyre pressures though
#3: Re: tyre question ! Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:02 pm ---- 32-34psi
#4: Re: tyre question ! Author: hazzer1501, Location: BlackpoolPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:06 pm ---- thanks mate , looking forward to it
#5: Re: tyre question ! Author: ersturbo, Location: crawleyPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:12 pm ---- should say on the side of the tyres you get mate if it says 32 psi for example only pump it up to about 26-28 psi you need to allow for the temp of the tyres temp gets hot air expands if you pump up to the max pressure youll just at risk of having a blow out lol unlucky but could happen
If you drive fast down back roads etc on the other hand only pump up to about 23 psi
#6: Re: tyre question ! Author: MutilateTheDead, Location: DerbyPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:19 pm ---- 23 psi? thts wayyyy too low??? Obv depending on what car, run 33 in mine
#7: Re: tyre question ! Author: ersturbo, Location: crawleyPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:22 pm ---- 23 psi is fine providing you warm your tyres up before you go booting it i use to run 24ish psi in my fiesta zetec s as i use to drive on tracks etc with the heat it expands the air which in flats the tyre nicly

On the side of the tyre it will state the MAXIMUM safe working pressure, in normal running you wont be anywhere near this figure.
Tyre pressures should be set when the tyre is cold / stood overnight.
23 psi is far to low a pressure for a 206, you risk overheating the tyre & causing a blow out not to mention the p**s poor handling & uneven tyre wear it will cause.
33 psi front & rear will be idea.
#9: Re: tyre question ! Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:26 pm ---- 23psi cold pressure would skid a lot when raining. i promise
#10: Re: tyre question ! Author: ersturbo, Location: crawleyPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:26 pm ---- Like I said it's depends on how you drive my bro races a alfa 147 gta cup car abroad he only uses 25psi completely different tyres but he's wet tyres run low to you only need to run that low when driving hard
#11: Re: tyre question ! Author: ersturbo, Location: crawleyPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:27 pm ---- Then you pump em up when raining lol

that make sense. slick don't need much pressure compare to road tyre as their side wall is like concrete.
#15: Re: tyre question ! Author: sillyhilly, Location: The Mean Streets of CoventryPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:45 pm ---- 436 PSI
