What should the tyre pressure be on a set of: 165 60 R12
currently got 28psi because its the only thing my dad could find in the haynes manual... but my tyres are wider than standard so surely should be more? they look quite...flat....
recomendations peoples? ;D

I've always run the same tyres as you Coedy
Mine are 24 psi front, 26 psi rear
They always look as if they need more air but wear is even over the life of the tyres so can't be far off !

It usually says on the wall of the tyre the reccomended pressure range for the specific tyre.

hm how strange.....
im out washing and polishing at the moment. and the rears dont look that bad. its the fronts that look ni-on flat. probably because of the engine i guess.
ill put 29 in the fronts later when i put some petrol in her and see how it goes!
thanks everyone!
