PSI (Tyre Pressure) for Peugeot 206

    Trying to get my car ready for it's first NCT which is on Tuesday am :D.

    My husband was checking the tyre pressure, and asked me what I thought it should be. When I was in London, I just did 25 all round which seems to be fine. He opened the driver's door and it had a notice which said the pressure should be 2.2 (metric figures). On checking a conversion table on the net, it says the pressure should be 32 PSI which doesn't sound right to me for such a small car.

    Do you guys have any idea? :confused:

    TIA

    Usually it is written in the user's manual or somewhere on the car itself, either on the inside of one of the doors, boot or fuel filler hatch.

    That sticker was put there by Peugeot for a reason.

    +1

    At 25 PSI fuel economy will be worse, tyre wear will increase, the car will accelerate more slowly and braking distance can increase. Don't second-guess the manufacturer on this.

    No **** Sherlock? Did you read the thread properly? The reason I asked this was because I have no idea what the metric measurements were.....Constructive, helpful comments always welcome. So-called 'smart-arse' answers aren't!!

    Thanks guys for the helpful input!

    No need to get aggressive but you did look it up, do you think someone would put a fake metric conversion chart up for the sake of it?

    Actually, no I wasn't. I asked a simple question. If you read my post properly, I was asking what the PSI should be as I've always done 25 when in London, and the chart was saying 32 which I've never done in my life. It seemed a little odd to me which is why I posted. IMHO, sarky and smart comments never help anyone.

    And no - I personally don't believe in doing stuff just for the sake of it, and I wouldn't expect anyone to either. So the charts we saw seemed geniune enough.

    I trust this clears things up for you...

    That's no way to respond to anyone on this forum. You asked a question, and got helpful responses. No need for that aggressive outburst.

    Look - I'm getting a little bored with this. I WASN'T being aggressive and politely thanked the guys who responded with helpful comments which have in fact answered my question.

    We'll leave it there shall we?

    IMO JHMEG's post was constructive and offered neutral help, but you got aggresive and now nobody is on your side.

    What you've been doing in London was wrong, less PSI is worse for the car as another user has kindly pointed out, and as such you should go by the chart and put it to 30-32 PSI, the usual for a car.
