hey just a quick one, I got some new shoes to replace the old stock 16" I remember the label suggests 220 kpa front, 210 kpa rear for the 16" set up

just wondering what's the factory recommended tyre pressure for sports 17" wheels with Bridgestone Potenza rubber


Thanks

not sure on factory specs.......goes down to personal preference really

Hard for fuel efficiency, softer for comfort factor. Just have a play around and see what your comfortable at. Just remember to inflate your tyres when they cold, early morning or something like that ;)

The sticker on my drivers door says:

Front: 32 psi
Rear: 30 psi

I believe this was suited to the stock 17" RE040 tires, now i put between 34 - 36 psi for RE001.

If you do mostly highway driving then put it up a little. :)

Less than 5 km's of normal driving from start is considered cold.
