b/w 30-36 psi for normal road use, it is the same for all light weight vehicles.

for my fat tire, I run 34 front and 33 rear. For your thin tire, I suppose you should run at higher preasure.

I'd use around 38 - 40 for starters, then go from there.

36-38PSI.Depends on the brand of tyre and how soft or hard the sidewall is.

I run 36 psi on 205/55 R16. What is your tyre size? If you are running 225/40 R18, then you should use about 38 psi or slightly higher so that you don't dent your rim if you accidentally drive over a pothole.

Whats the psi for CU2 base model tyres 225/50 R17.. Is it still 36 for both front tyres and 38 for both rear tyres?

[Type R Positive]

nah, not 36 front, 38 rear Praja, 36 to 38psi...

I was running 36psi all round on my car mate, but wore out the centers. I did 99% driving at highway speeds though.

34 to 36psi is fine for our base model. I think the placard says 33 to 35psi anyway?

lol same! But since im here, i use 36 for my DC5. I know the cars are different but 32-36 is the average i see most people pump their tyres to.
