Title: Tyre pressures
Post by: GaryBC on 24 June 2011, 14:15:27

A lot of forecourt air pumps these days are moving from psi to Bar.

What Bar should I inflate my 225/55/16s to for everyday usage?

W reg 2.5CD Auto.

32 PSI is about 2.2 BAR. Should be about right for day to day unladen usage. :y

1 pound per square inch = 0.0689475729 bar

From what i've seen, most garage pumps have a button to change between PSI and Bar.
Not found one yet that doesnt.
