    I am trying figure out, what is right tyre pressure for my car. So , i have Toyota Avensis , 1.8 petrol engine, 1998, tyres are Dunlop, SP Sport 205/55 ZR 55. What is right tyre pressure for my car with these tyres ?

    I had 2.0 bars at the begining , but tyres looked kind a bit flat, put 2.3 bars, but i dont really like how they look, feel like they flat.

    Thanks

    Often there's a plate/sticker on the jamb of the driver's door that lists the recommended tyre pressures. Similarly they should be listed in the manual (if you have it).

    Some tyres have softer sidewalls so may look 'softer' then others.

    If you have 2.0 - 2.3bar then they certainly aren't flat and adding more will just create safety issues.

    Does your car not have the tyre pressures in the door shut or in the fuel cap?
    The listing I have here for your car is 2.2bar front and rear.

    I think there was some 14 inch tyres and 15 inch tyres was max 185/60 R 15, mine current tyres are 205/55 ZR 15., so think it wont be in manual. I assume 2.2 - 2.3 bars are ok ?

    They where available with 16" wheels and 205/55 tyres....wouldn't see them much with our paddy spec cars though. The tyre pressure for these would be the same anyway as 2.0 - 2.4 will cover almost all standard cars.
