Hello Everyone
I've tried using the search function and tried looking in every section on here and still can't seem to find an answer. I''ve probably missed a thread somewhere but I thought I'd ask anyway...
I've just bought a set of 16" Nimrods and fitted them to my 1.4 GLX.
I've got a tyre pressure table for loads of different cars in my Dad's workshop, but the tyre size for the Nimrods (195-45-16) isn't listed, only 15" wheel sizes are listed for the 206.
Can anyone tell me what pressures I should be running?
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Just keep an eye on it every now and then too, most of these garages will give a reading when you go to put air in anyway
