Extremme 4th Gear December 6, 2014 Share December 6, 2014 Hi guys, I am driving a Toyota Estima and I am using Dunlop 225/50R18 for my tyres. As per my tyres illustration: I pump up my tyres pressure to 240. Is it the ideal pressure? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourZero Hypersonic December 7, 2014 Share December 7, 2014 Recommended always correct. But 240 still ok only it will be harder if u can feel. On Spore road no problem but if traveling up long distance to KL better to go at 230 or lower at 220😀👍 My own knowledges tru workshops n friends 😄 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On nsh better to pump more so u don't generate heat in the sidewalks and blowout So for him, sticking to 250 even for sg or nsh is fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremme 4th Gear December 7, 2014 Author Share December 7, 2014 Thank you both. Yeah I am going KL following week so want to ensure it's all good. I went to the petrol kiosk and was shocked to see that my 4 tyres were only 140. It's a new 3 month old car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremme 4th Gear December 7, 2014 Author Share December 7, 2014 did u pump in these 3 months it takes about there to drop 100 kpa Oh..I don't think so. That could probably explain why it dropped -100 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberttan 5th Gear December 8, 2014 Share December 8, 2014 tyre pressure and size clearly stated there just follow car factory you are not wrong But you can still change to your own preference best only increase (not reduce) for heavy load and long distance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enye Hypersonic December 8, 2014 Share December 8, 2014 Hi guys, I am driving a Toyota Estima and I am using Dunlop 225/50R18 for my tyres. As per my tyres illustration: I pump up my tyres pressure to 240. Is it the ideal pressure? don't worry 2.4 not very high pressure my factory recommendation is 2.8 for front and 3.3 for rear under full load Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extremme 4th Gear January 13, 2015 Author Share January 13, 2015 Guys,I feel that it's not a normal behaviour. So what happened was that my front left tyres seems to deflat quite quickly.I pumped up all my tyres in early Dec before going on my trip to Malaysia but yesterday all the rest of the tyres (as per my check at petrol kiosk ) still remain abt the same pressure of 230. The front left tyre was already down to 150. I have since inflated it back to 230 and monitoring. Is there any shop Which can help check if tyre is somehow punctured? Any recommended tyre shop for Dunlop? I intend to just change 1 piece of tyre considering that my ride is like 5 months old and low mileage.

Thks depends where is conveinent for you. the usual popular tyre shops are Arrow, Pitstop, Eng Wah, Soh Bros. ALTC, KimHoe. u better call them to make sure they carry your Dunlop tyre first. http://www.sgcarmart.com/directory/listing.php?COM=Dunlop+Authorised+Dealer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberttan 5th Gear January 14, 2015 Share January 14, 2015 most shop can do tyre repair. my personal POV best ask for internal repair. since you have driven the leaked tyre for sometime only internal repair method can tell is there any inside hidden demaged Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thks If is possible if your driving is during the "vampire" timing and also possibility park at upper level of MSCP. I have experience of pressure loss of around 5kPa about every 4 days.

Extremme 4th Gear January 15, 2015 Author Share January 15, 2015 (edited) I called several tyre shops and all said they faced this problem for the current make and model tyre for Estima. Not many people carry this model and its a known thing for the current batch of Estima. :( Thinking of changing it once and for all (sigh, and its only like 5 months old). Any recommendation for Estima? Edited January 15, 2015 by Extremme Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 check valves too. Sometimes, it's not installed properly or faulty valve. I much preferred rubber valve stem, not metal type; just change them every time you change tyres. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
