    Can anyone tell me what my tyre pressure is supposed to be? I have enclosed a pic of what it says, but I can't really figure it out.

    Both front and back should be either 32 or 38, but I don't get the 160km part. Also, I thought that the front tyres are supposed to have more pressure (cos of the engine)?

    38 would seem correct, if you are going over 160km/h then you need to put them at 32

    You sure about that? Higher speeds normally equate to higher tyre pressures.

    Sorry my bad I thought higher speed needed lower pressure to allow room for air to expand in the tyre:o

    I presumed from the way the h rated (lover speed) tyre is list at the top 38 with the v (higher speed) listed underneath 32

    I don't go over 160km ever!! So 32 for each tyre- would that be about right? First car and I'm still learning the ropes

    I'd do the Irish thing and put it at 35 and be happy with that.

    I put 36 in the front and 32 in the back - front-wheel drive.
