Tyres different PSI
 
Just checked my tyres and the 2 fronts one are 44psi, one on the back is 36psi and the other back one is 51 psi!

is this safe? do i need to replace them so theyre all the same?

Replace? No not at all.

Just change the pressures on a pump...either deflate or inflate which ever is needed..

coleman258 13th November 2010 17:21

This seems high, i was under the impression people run 32 - 30?

leeham987 13th November 2010 17:21

ah right, cheers. Feel right daft now lol

leeham987 13th November 2010 17:23

Deffo need to go and deflate the 51psi! tyre. I had some new tyres fitted, went to check the PSI just now and thats the readings i got. Surely the garage should've checked this?

They will have put them to that. I would go and complain.

Tyre pressures should be on a sticker inside the door shut.

Check pressures when tyres are cold.

Usually pressures are different front & rear.

cheers for the help, have to get a pressure gauge tomorrow.

32 front 30 rear i think, just deflate accordingly. theres no need to replace the tyres at all

You dont need to buy a guage just use the one attachd to the airline at the garage.
I prefer to use a digital guage as they are generaly more accurate.

If my tyres are at sat 40psi and wanted them at 32psi could i set the one at the garge to 32psi and would it let air out?
