razza Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 what pressure should I be running the tyres at? I've got 19" rims with Continentals on them. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupra Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Myself an a couple of other guys on here (if I remember), run them at 35 psi all round, im on 18's. I think this is the standard pressure aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 i thought 36 was std, but hey small diff I'm on 19s recently, down at 32 to help the ride a bit but I'll be checking for wear effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 What pressure should you run on the stock 16" wheels?? 36 PSI, do you have a sticker with the details listing this information near on the sill of the drivers door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy-m2 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 dont have the oringanal drivers door but will check incase it was transferred. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Its not on the door, its on the bit where the lock connects to the body? You might not have it if you have an import tho. 36 is the recommended pressure all around on 17s, but I wouldnt think it would change for 16s, some put it down to 34 in the rears for a little extra help off the line tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 My import has this sticker where bobbeh mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I always understood there should be a higher pressure in the rears? I do 34 front, 35 rears. This is with 245/40/18 and 285/35/18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 36 front and 34 rears on mine. Same here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I always understood there should be a higher pressure in the rears? Well stock recommendations are 36psi all round.. so I dunno where you get that impression. I always found that low PSI in the fronts made the handling feel really sloppy.

Stonkin Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 ok cheers Bobbeh, dont know where i got that from then, i'll try them on the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Also with more weight in the front I'd guess you'd want to firm with higher PSI it up a bit to get the tyres to bite otherwise it'll wallow/understeer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermonkey Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 If you put less pressure in the rears it should give the tyres more room to move and therefore put a bigger footprint on the floor? i might be wrong, no doubt we'll get some one more with more knowledge prove me wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
