in a rush so could someone quickly tell me what tyre pressures i should run? or just go off the handbook? i usually go all out and put what it should be fully laden, or is that a bad idea?

Ouch thats a bit high.

You only go to 40 when you first inflate a tyre to get it on the rim I think! from then on you just top it up to about 32 max! On a smaller tyre anyway!

41 front??? :O

Take some out. I do about 36 front and 34 rear on mine, which is high, but the car responds better in handling with that because of the uber heavy front end (massive gearbox with transferbox and then rear diff at the back).

I dont like the feel of 32 :lol: Too heavy on the steering and if you lose any pressure there's no leeway for it being too low :lol:

It totally depends on the car, the size of the tyres and how it feels! :lol:

Like I say, I find 36 front and 34 rear feels good on my car, but on other cars that feels way too inflated. Mine is heavy at the front so that works well for me. But I'd always put a little bit more in the front, always have done, always will do.

I've not driven one so can't comment :P And can't remember having tyres that fat for quite some time :P :lol:

88 front, 59 rear.

:P

I'd look at how 34 front and 32 rear feels.

I'd go for 34-32 for a Fiesta in all honesty - there's not much up going on in the engine bay with them :P :lol:

Yeah you'll get severe wear in the centre of the tyre and over-inflation heats up the tyre at motorway speeds and potentially resulting in a nice big blow-out and a roll or ten of the car if you don't catch it quick enough.
