Hello guys.

I’m using Dunlop J5 175/70 R13 for my car, Toyota Corolla KE70 DX 1981.
Current pressure 34psi for all (by tyre shop guy, different shops telling me different psi. So I’m confused)

Does anyone know what’s the recommended tyre pressure for this specific vehicle model/tyre?

I don’t have the writing on the car (drivers side) or any other parts of the car nor the car manual.

Can anyone shed some light please?

Tire pressure is quite an individual preference where some like bro Zeng above like very firm pressure to save just a bit more fuel while some may prefer more comfort with lower pressures. Of course there's a range that where you should not go too low or too high. For your car which is quite light, I think the ideal range should be around 28-33psi, so I'd suggest you to try first at 31psi then see how you feel about it. If you feel it's too soft then you can try increase a bit to 32-33psi. If you feel too hard then lower it a bit to 28-29psi. Keep adjusting this until you find a pressure that you feel best whereby comfortable enough but also gives responsive enough handling. Just keep in mind if too low, the tread may wear out more on the edges while if too hard then will wear out more in the middle.

In that case I’ll give it a few tries on different pressures.

I’m the type who prefers comfort driving  icon_rolleyes.gif

However, should I add the front tyres pressure slightly higher than the rear since the load is higher at the front?

Ps Ke70 is a rear wheel drive.

Yes can just 2psi difference.
