tyre psi?

[Dy_]

currently got 205 45 16s but not too sure what psi i should be running them at for daily driving conditions?

how do i know if i need to change tyres? the treads are looking abit low but still grips fine. i remember there was a trick with a ten cent coin ??


thanks!

Around 32-34psi is a good number. Lower profile = higher psi.

You'll see little bumps on the inside of your tyre tread. If that bump sits flush with the top of the tread then legally you're up for new tyres. That's what the cops will check for. Along with uneven wear and sidewall damage.

it tells u max only as you sed. max tyre pressure can b newhere 50 onwards

34 or 35 would be alrite on that profile.

38-40psi for 45 profile, 40-42psi for 40 profile

^^^ yes 40 psi on any low profile tyre. i just went to driver training course 2day and was told that was optimum for road and track
