Ford fiesta 1.2 2008 - tyre psi

FrankC21 · 2019-10-02 19:28:23

Hi, I am wondering if I put all tyre pressure at 35 psi will that increase my fuel economy. I have been putting 32 psi all the time on all tyres.

It won't help much.
Use the PSI recommended for the car and leave it at that.

If you want to get better MPG you need to pay more attention to regular services and driving like a granny

you may end up with heavy center of tyre wear on softer tyres .

as above , you will save more fuel by drving slower and accelerating easier , than by tyre tweaking
