Is this my car's tyre pressure information and if it is, what PSI should I put in my front tyres and my back tyres?🤔

[Accy cyclist]

My car is a Vauxhall Adam. I only travel with me and my small dog in the car, so it never has passengers in. I've been inflating the front tyres to 36 psi and the rear ones to 34 psi.

 

[FrankCrank]

Ideally, according to the chart, should be 32psi/front and 29psi/rear. I always add an extra couple of psi to mine, just to allow for leakage over time. Not sure what the ECO figures mean?

 

[SteveH80]

ECO means higher pressure for less rolling resistance, but also less grip and a harder ride, for a tiny increase in MPG.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Top one. Unless you are transporting a dozen nuns with you.

^What he said.

^and him.

Those are pressures in KiloPascals. Multiply by 0.145038 for psi.

So 220 = 32

Well, they may be dressed as nuns but....

Those are pressures in KiloPascals. Multiply by 0.145038 for psi.

So 220 = 32

Or divide by 100 for bar.

Tmi!

Talking of inflation, got one of these recently

Brilliant gadget, should have got one years ago. Does the car in no time, even the spare wheel which was super low, inflated super quick. Bike tyres done in a few seconds without the grunt and sweat

 

[DaveReading]

Those are pressures in KiloPascals. Multiply by 0.145038 for psi.

So 220 = 32

Or just divide by 7, which will be close enough for Government work.

And just remember not all tyre pressure gauges are calibrated on a daily basis

 

[fossyant]

I prefer to try and use PSI as it's easier to read on the gauge (smaller units) - that said, the tyres on the van need about 4 bar - scary !

I'm an inveterate fiddler, and I've programmed one of the car's buttons (remember those?) to give me a reading from the TPMS. I've been struck just how much bob-on pressures can inflate (suit yourselves...) in these high temperatures - and asymmetrically too, if one side of the car is in sun and one shaded. I've seen fronts at over 40psi (set at 36) and rears at 46psi (set at 41) It's also noticeable as a driver, exacerbated I'm guessing by the unusually narrow tyres on an i3.
