Urgent help needed Re: Tyre pressure

[Matthew.]

Hi guys at the garage now and have got my new 18" monza II's on, what pressure should the 225/40/18 tyres be done to?

Help needed asap

Thanks

Check the inside of your fuel cap. Will say on there.

Mine had 17's on originally though, same pressure?

Danno mate. Just checked mine for you though, 2.4 bar all round under normal load or 2.6 front and 3.0 rear under heavy load.

Cheers mate, it was pissing down so went for 32psi all round, it will do for now  

[swf7y]

Close enough. I think 2.4 bar is 34 psi

That's generally what I do mate 32/33psi all round :)

my ED30 had 18 inch Monza on as is an eu import and it says on the fuel cap 2.6 bar under normal load which i think is 37.8 psi which sems really high but i presumed this was correct because of the 40 profile?

Mine are at 36 PSI, as given in the fuel flap.

I inflate (my tyres!) to 37 psi and run a TyreSure monitor. You'd be surprised how much fluctuation there is during a drive.

That looks like a cool gadget RedRobin how much did that little extra set you back?

It might seem like a luxury gadget but I'm surprised how much I appreciate it. Was without it for a few days once and I missed it badly!

Just showed my girlfriend sitting next to me (rolled eyes) lol

Very cool and i can see it becoming an essential device once it is installed!
