Tyre pressures?
- Thread starter DAZ 5738

Well standard pressures for standard tyres are in the Knowledge Base ... knowledge/kb_show.php?id=22 ... but obviously those aren't quite standard sizes.
Rears are the same, front is down to your preference really.
Mk1 cars run much lower pressures at the front and I found that even when I had 18s on I ran lower than standard mk2 pressures.
The lower profile suggests an increase in pressure is needed so start at about 23psi and experiment.
There's also a wider footprint so whenever running different sizes to OEM you have to use Renault's figs as a starting guide only.
I was usually about 30 rear 23 front but the whole car has been stripped now and will weigh a lot less with a slightly different distribution possibly so I will be experimenting again......Check tyre wear as you go.
