Hoppe Clutched July 22, 2004 Share July 22, 2004 check your side door. Tire pressure info should be indicated on the sticker there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear July 22, 2004 Share July 22, 2004 Also check your glove box. Some cars have the sticker there as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie47 1st Gear July 22, 2004 Share July 22, 2004 The usual is 30psi or 220kPa. If travelling up north long distance, over-inflate to 35psi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppe Clutched July 23, 2004 Share July 23, 2004 why must overinflate when going up north? My ride 12 years old..still have sticker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppe Clutched July 23, 2004 Share July 23, 2004 but then, return to Singapore with "botak" tires. Is that worth it, since petrol is cheap up north. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie47 1st Gear July 23, 2004 Share July 23, 2004 (edited) If you over-inflate, you will have lower rolling resistance. As a result, you can squeeze more km/L of petrol since rolling resistance will contribute to FC for such long distance travel. Around the city, you need more stopping power so keep tires at the maximum pressure recommended by manufacturer.
