[stompin-sarah]

Driver preference too. I always used to run my fronts 34 and rears 32psi.

[stompin-sarah]

well i asked they guy at the petrol station if he would show me how to do them (new driver!) and he put 28 in them all.... but car seems to drive crapy since he did that lol

[fastroadkid69]

32psi front 34psi rears for me.

[chriswoodward]

looking in my handbook it says 36psi in the front and 32 at the back

[Ben]

32psi front 34psi rears for me.

+1 thats what i do :y: Free air at Tesco FTW

[chriswoodward]

32psi front 34psi rears for me.

why exactly are you running more preasure in the rears than on the front in a front wheel drive car???

[Barry123]

[stompin-sarah]

[SaxoLuverShane]

looking in my handbook it says 36psi in the front and 32 at the back

sarah I was right... but it converts to 36psi Front, 32psi Rear

That is 100% the correct tyre pressure.

[stompin-sarah]

so i put in 36 front and 32 rear? yeah?

[SaxoJamie]

yeah definately :y:I have VTR wheels on my 1.1 so I now use VTR tyre pressures (36 front, 32 rear) your car will drive loads better with the correct pressures:y:

[Barry123]

yarrrr

[DCMan]

sarah I was right... but it converts to 36psi Front, 32psi Rear

I'm guessing that doesnt apply across the board to all saxos?
