Check the link below for tyre pressure conversion... http://www.caravanninglinks.co.uk/Tyres.htm regards 4C. |

Working at Discount, normally set them at an average of 32-35 psi. Just look on the inside of the door and itll give you recommended PSI.

I agree with BLINKYxMUNKEY. Also, if you check your max tire pressure on the tire itself, just go about 3 psi less, and you will be in good shape.

If you overinflate the tire it will wear the middle of the tire down. If you underinflate it will wear the outside of the tire.

make sure you check the pressure COLD, meaning leaving the car undriven for a couple hours to let it cool, pressure in your tires increase as you drive it, so if u want 35 psi, make sure you do it cold

On the tire, it says the max pressure, which is problably around 60 lbs of air. The recommended tire pressure is on a sticker inside the door. -------------------- |
