Haven't you got the label on the front door post?

From memory (which is usually inacurate) it's 48PSI rear 46PSI front..... something like that. They might be different if you're on 205s though... maybe down 2PSI front and rear...

wonder if that's why mine handles like a donkey that Jakes been 'touching'

wasn't sure what mine needed so I nipped round each one, found 3 + spare to be 38 psi and 1 rear at 35

did them all to 38 psi . . .oops . .

Andy, you have much bigger tyres - larger air = lower pressures. You will also find on your tyres there's a maximum pressure. I run my 15"s at 38PSI, as does Concorde.

I run 35 all round

cos it says max psi 35 on every tyre

no tyre pressure markings on the tyres, had a damn good look (1st port of call and all that)

they all 'looked' ok, cept the one with 35 in it, who's outer edges look more 'rounded'

will have another look in daylight. Feels lot better with 38 all round though he he

36 Front and 43 Rear for 205 r14c according to the sticker, needed a load to bring them up to pressure....

go to petrol station that has an airline working
that also don't charge for the free air
then take out the long rubber thing with the metal bit on the end
fit the metal bit to the valve on the tyre
fill the tyre with air and give the tyre a good kick
if it sounds like a dull thud put in some more air
then kick it again, keep doing this till the sound of the good kicking
sounds like a bong rather than a thud

job done

you can tell i went to the dunlop tyre school for drivers way back in 1956
