TYRE PRESSURES

Post by Tom-os »

Hi Guys.

I've just got a set of 18" rims but not too sure on what the pressures should be, so can anyone advise please.
Tyres are:
Fronts 215/35/18
Rears 225/40/18

Thanks for any responses

I just went to check and the the front passenger side is 44psi so are you sure it's 32 coz can't see myself having to let out 12psi?

:? If you knew all along why did you ask?

Personally, they would be too low for my liking.
