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?

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.

Front axle of typical Japanese passenger car like this is likely to carry more load than rear .

Attached below is a load table applicable to you , namely

[attachmentid=10671298]

Minimum tyre pressure of 2.0 bar is 200 kpa which is also equals to 29 psi .

[attachmentid=10671299]

The speed rating T means this tyre is designed for speed 190 km/hr at a tyre air pressure of  270 kpa aka 39 psi .

Add :

[attachmentid=10671304]

Wow, that’s a good info bro. May I know which website did u get this info from? Thank you.

My car top speed only 140km/h for now. Hehe. 250kpa=36psi

This tyres are rated with a load index of 82 which gives us 475kgs per tyre.

This is the rating if you’re at the max allowable pressure of the tyre right? Which is 44 psi, written on the side wall.

Therefore at 44 psi your load carrying capacity is at 475kgs per tyre x 4 = 1900kgs.
Correct me if I’m wrong.

And,
How do u find the load capacity associated with different tyre pressures bro?

Thank you everyone for your kind info.

Learnt a lot. Will try out different pressures and see which suits my preference.

Cheers. rclxms.gif
