just checked my tyre pressures with a tyre pressure gauge thingy. different readings from all wheels.
driver side front 36ps
passenger side front 32ps
driver side rear 30ps
passenger side rear 19ps
freaking hell ,19 ps is very low .but when you look at the tyre itself ,it does not look flat or anything at all . whats going on in here then .???
what should my tyre pressures be ,with 170- 85 -13 tyres on the car ?? |

aye like huw said.
My drivers side front drops to about 10psi after a day, pump it up to 40 and it still looks flat.
Ther megane has a dodgy rear passenger and it drop from 30 odd down to about 10psi and it still looks fine, no load on the back really.
I run the 16V around 35 ish psi. |

play around with them and see what suits you.
Also get a decent gauge, garage guages and footpumps are usually a good bit out. |
