silly garage i was at today put the same pressures for saloons as estates... i thought it wern't right!!

i always wondered tho where does a "bootful and one passenger" come in the scale of "upto3passengers" to "full load" !!!?

To be honest I just stick with the same 32psi front and rear - though I don't tow a van - and since I travel everywhere with a full boot of tools I go for a 1/2 psi comfort factor. Haven't noticed any extra wear on my tyres.

yeah i do that with my elite saloon. 32 all round.

the estate's only got 195 tyres tho so I wasn't sure what to go with! 30/33 it is i reckon  :y
mind you it's a big jump to 38/45 with a full load innit!!! which might be more likely with a  big boot. ho hum me think me and mr tesco tyre inflator might become good friends! lol  ;D

Thanks Guys. I am currently on 32 all round and the drive did not feel smooth.

Will get it changed to 30 all round tomorrow.

Final question, when should I go for full load - when the boot is full and with 4 adults or 3 adults and a moderately fun boot?

Thanks

How about an LPG tank? I've no idea what it weighs but it must be pretty heavy, esp when full?  :-/  Fully loaded?

Mind you I only keep vapour in the petrol tank so its probably all equal ;D ;D
