Bro is your center wearing off faster? If it is, then a probable cause is over pressure!

When i got the car, i was told by the sales rep that the pressure was 34psi but the manual says otherwise - 36psi! So which is the correct one? smile.gif

Both 34 and 36 are ok. To be correct, tyre pressure depends on load you carry. Check the sticker at the driver side door hinge.

sticker says 36psi. SR did mention that at 36psi, the ride's bumpier. biggrin.gif

Higher pressure does make a more bumpy ride. 34psi makes a small difference.

maybe a compromised 35psi? biggrin.gif

It's 2.5/3.6 bar, not psi! Petrol station air pumps will have conversion table.

I actually got a shock after reading your reply. 25psi for this car is really low,which will lead to accelerated wear on inner and outer circle of tire thread.

oops again! blush.gif these old eyes need a re-look! cry.gif

yes, it's 2.5 & 3.0 bars, or 36.2594344 & 43.5113213 psi...

which brings the question of pumping at 37psi (front) & 44psi (rear)... hmm.gif
