  • R32 tyre pressure help please

    R32 comes standard with 18" and on the fuel filler lid it says 300kPa Front and 320kPa Rear -thats nearly 46 or so psi by conversion, which is close to the tyres rated 50psi max! and thats cold tyre pressures, so with heat its going to be 48psi or more.

    Do I follow these guidelines or does anyone else suggest different? I currently have it at 305kPa front and 315kPa rear but filled when hot

    There are two figures listed on the filler cap.

    Standard load and Heavy load.

    Standard load is 40.6 all round.

        I'm happy with 40 PSI all round, they usually lose a bit anyway but wouldn't want under 38 or 39.
