FK8 FK8 Tyre Pressure, high ?

[mcjazz]

Just checked my tyre pressure today and on checking door pressure label see its 41 p.s.i. or 2.8 BAR for 2 people Set them to that
and seems just fine, but.

Any ideas why its so high when cold ?

Thanks

I've not seen the plate but it sounds reasonable.

Probably because it has 20" wheels and tyres with tiny sidewalls.

I dunno just thinking that must head up to 45 / 46 psi when hot. I have no experience of such low profile.

So thought I would ask.

Thanks

Hi,

Surely you'll want to set the pressures to the top line on that chart...35psi Front/33psi Rear

The 2nd & 3rd lines are for speeds over 220km/h....

The 2nd & 3rd lines are for speeds over 220km/h....

Definitely setting mine to the 2nd and 3rd then

Thanks I didn't know what the tilde was or did to the numbers.

Drove up to Edinburgh today 360 miles through some of the worst weather I have ever driven and car was amazing in rain, Including much standing water which up by Carlisle was like rivers across the M6.

Thanks
