Tyre Pressures
#1
Just away to fit a set of 16" wheels with SO2's to replace the standard 15" ones, can someone tell me the official correct tyre pressures?? my car only has 15's on the door post label.
Also any recommendations for changing the pressures to give better handling, quieter ride etc. etc. would be appreciated.

Off the top of my head and without referring to the manual I believe the pressures for 16" wheels on the MY00 (Saloon) are 33 front, 28 rear.
Have a play around though and do a search because varying the pressures by only a small amount can make quite a difference.

For best all round handling ability, especially on a race track u should use
33 front and 30 rear - 28 rear is far too low!!
32/32 is ok but does not give best handling - I have played with all the pressures - some commentators even have the fronts all the way up to 36 - but if you like the car to be on the edge and dangerous dont do this
