what is the best road pressure to put in 205/50 16's Front/rear???
have just put some MY99 wheels on my MY97 so the pressure on the lable on the door pillar has the 205 55 15 pressure on and not the pressure 4 the 16" wheels!!!!!!!!


I have 33F and 31R in at the moment and compared to the 15" wheels I feel like I'm on skate board wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

Official pressures are 33 front 28 rear ( or 33 and 32 if car fully laden )That's what it says on the pillar anyway.

I think the best idea is to buy a decent pressure gauge,about 10 pounds from Halfords,and experiment with different settings.
Everybody seems to have their own personal preference.

On the original tyres (re010's) I liked the standard pressure(as above) but I run the so2's at 35/31 because they have never felt as stable as the originals and upping the pressure has helped.
