If I want to pump tyre at petrol station, I always saw previous user set it at 200kpa.

I always pump 220kpa ikut sticker dekat pintu kereta.

I tried once 200kpa and it make your car more comfortable.
But then I pump back to 220kpa because scare tyre explode because kurang angin..

So my question, is it okay to pump 200kpa?

Nothing to do with old or new, its to do with your tyre size and sidewall size

those are for cold temperatures.. if car has been travelling for a while, and/or ambient temperature is hot, can add 4 or 5 psi to it....

your sticker should mention the range of pressure between min-load and max-load.
if you have full occupancy and baggage in tow, of course need higher pressure to lift your vehicle over min height.

Old Myvi still 220kpa.

But there is a reason why need 220kpa. Because its about the factory spec wear level, contact patch and comfort.

I run 220kpa up front and 215kpa at the back. Last time i used to run 205 at the back and 215 at the front.

With lower pressure, definitely more comfortable. But tyre wear is a little more on the outer side. Car also leans a little more. Steering a little heavier at low speeds. And if you corner really hard, you will actually loose some air somehow.

If too low, steering will feel heavier.

I take roundabout 6 o'clock exit few times everyday. My front left tyre wears only on left edge. Maybe it is just normal wear and tear instead of alignment issue?

check your car pillar sticker

you can pump according to it or extra 20kpa ..because whatever that you measured from the pump ..it will have ~20kpa delta compared to TPMS

pump like balloon will resulted poor handling

my persona
front 230 rear 210
if full loaded
front 220 rear 240

benz
250 on all 4 wheel

Rx8
lupa..but should be similar to persona

Follow the sticker on the door panel there lol. Then adjust up or down base on that. It’s based on tyre size
