Lots of figures, but not too difficult.

 

 

1) Look for your tyre size

2) Decide on load 4 pax or full load with lagguages

3) Cross check column on pressures for front and rear tyres.

 

From my experience, the normal 4 pax us good enough for every day use.

 

 

I like this type of chart.

 

I had one that's even more headache-- 3 levels of press.

2 front pax.

4 Pax

4 Pax & lagguages.

 

MIC & MIK cars same press from all tyres.

What is your tyre size? And how many people do you usually carry?

If the nos 5 passenger is someone you dun like, you can explain that the tire pressure chart allow only 4 pax maximum, please call a cab yourself.

[Jj5599]

4 passengers. Tyre size I don't know, should be default.

[Civic93porsche911]

29psi front 32psi back

4 passengers. Tyre size I don't know, should be default.

 

You should read yr tyre size off your default tyre then let us know. Then we can help you on the correct pressure to pump.

[Jj5599]

Tyre size is 205/55 R 16 91W

[Fcw75]

Then should be front 2.0 bar and rear 2.2 bar.

When is getting a nail/screw poked into the tyre considered too often?

Yesterday I had the 2nd in 6months ( too often ). As the tyres were already 3 years old, had them changed and had 2 surprises:

 

- the tyre shop pump to 140KPa(34PSI) while I had been only letting in 215KPa(31PSI).

 

- the mechanic checked the front tyres and found one with 300KPa ( wow, how did this happen when I usually select 215 at the air pump )

 

tyre size is 195/65/R15

Could be a leaky valve stem.

 

Or tyre guy anyhow pump. Seem to hv this issue everytime they helpfully "check" & rotate my tyres. Always end up having to recalibrate the pressures myself after that.

Guys, im driving suzuki swift sport zc31. I followed the tyre pressure and pump til 330 kpa. Is it okay or too much?

This is way too high.  Typically, tyre pressure is around 200 - 250 kPa.  The higher the pressure, the higher the fuel efficiency but the firmer the ride.

330kpa is too much. I think 220-240 is enough for your car.

[izzy0707]

Cause i cant find the tyre placard on my right side of my driver door. So anyone know the recommended tyre pressure? 240?

[Cheesey74]

For swift, i would think 220kPa should be the norm n 240kPa for a firm ride.
