Hi may I know what is the recommended air pressure in psi for tyre with profile of 205/60/R16 (Front and rear)? I have look at my car door sticker stated that 31 psi for front and rear is 28 but that is the previous tyre size which is 195/50/R15 so I want ask is it the recommended air pressure still the same although the tyre size now is different?Any answer are greatly appreciated. Thanks alot smile.gif

depends on the car and model.
depends on the load, ie single driver or with 4 passengers.
depends on the common speed.

Dear TS, are u sure that your previous size (ori) was 195/50/15 and you are now using 205/60/16?

When changing tyres, one must keep to the 3% rule and when up-sizing, normally its add 10mm to the width, reduce profile by 10% (or sometimes 5% will suffice) and increase rim size by 1 inch.

If u want 16' rims, your tyre size choices should be:

205/45/16 - diameter bigger by 2.54%
205/40/16 - diameter smaller by 0.98 (apologies, should be 40 and not 50)

205/60/16 - means than your diameter is bigger by 11.73%. This is VERY DANGEROUS could mean much longer braking distance. to check for the right size, you can refer to this website

Oic...thanks for the info. Anyway I have just change my tyre to 205/45/16 this week...yeah n the tyre shop person told me that my current tyre size is not suitable. As for the tyre pressure they recommended me to pump around 30-32 psi.
