Hi,
can anyone tell me the correct pressures in PSI for these tyres. On the door it says 270Kpa. What is the conversion factor?

cheers.

270 Kilopascals = 39.2 Pounds per Square Inch. :thumbsup:

Thanks,
I think I read the wrong number off the placard I think it should be btwn 220 to 240.
Can anyone with these (pizza cutter!) tyres tell me would PSI they are running them on?

cheers.

Yeh, thought it sounded a bit high. 220kpa = 31.9psi, 240kpa = 34.8psi

227kpa = 33psi
I checked it on the air pump machine form petrol station!!

You can only select the degree of psi, not kpa on the air pump machine, However, u can press the "kpa" button to check the number of kpa that convert from psi!

Don't the tyre pumps at any/all servos have a conversion automatically done already?
