didnt check this before i went so there all top top! ie 41 front, 37 rear or whatever it is in my handbook.
hope thats cool
tyres dont look flat anymore anyway and fuel doesnt seem to be pissing out as much as it was before?

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? |

32 front, 26 no rear load, 28-30 with rear load (this includes accounting for people). |

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 Too heavy on the steering and if you lose any pressure there's no leeway for it being too low

It totally depends on the car, the size of the tyres and how it feels! 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 And can't remember having tyres that fat for quite some time 88 front, 59 rear. I'd look at how 34 front and 32 rear feels. |

| Post subject: | Re: tyre pressures |

| Post subject: | Re: tyre pressures |
il try 36 front 34 rear then whoever wrote it in the handbook must have thought it was a brilliant idea...

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

lmao i know :p ill give it a go now! let you know what the situation is. but having the pressures i have atm, is it a bad thing? :S everyone's reaction made me think, hmmm. shit |

| Post subject: | Re: tyre pressures |
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. |
