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

QUOTE(cfa28 @ Nov 1 2012, 08:37 PM) Dear TS, are u sure that your previous size (ori) was 195/50/15 and you are now using 205/60/16? 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.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% 205/50/16 - diameter smaller by 0.98 205/60/16 - 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 http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculato...sr-snt-emty-str Added on November 3, 2012, 12:21 am QUOTE(h4dRi @ Nov 1 2012, 10:44 PM) Hmm actually it is done by the previous owner cz I bought this 2nd hand.This post has been edited by Satria Neo91: Nov 3 2012, 12:21 AM |
