Hi guys,

Just a noob question here.

I just bought a used set of 18" wheels (225/40/18) with some decent tyre thread left and they are quite soft. So I was wondering If I supply some pressure on them how much pressure do I need to supply before loading them onto my car? My car is a dc5r. Thank you in advance!

The ratings can be found in the service manual or on a sticker somewhere on your car.

sticker/user manual probably wont have the correct details for aftermarket size wheels/tyres


check the sidewall of your tyre


or ask the seller


with the limited information provided by you, i wouldnt wanna give you incorrect psi values

Best to fill to the recommended value on the sidewall of the tyre itself.

The max COLD value is fine for the tyres use.
