What is the recommended tyre pressure for the heaviest omega. (3.2 with all the toys, I guess)?

And what would such an omega weigh?

[MR MISTER]

I'm guessing the omega would weigh about the same as my bus, 2.2 tonne. The recommende tyre pressure on mine is 35 psi normal, 39 psi eco on 215/60/16's. 39 seems high 

[05omegav6]

Fr 41psi,  Rr 48 psi total max weight 2305kgs

[chrisgixer]

Unloaded 32psi all round.

41 and 48 ? Wow.
You sure you're not getting mixed up with your truck?

[MR MISTER]

Unloaded 32psi all round.

That's what I guessed, 32 up to 48 is a bit of a leap.

That was max full load pressure for an estate btw

Wouldn't like to try that on a slippery surface.

So....2.4 bar estate rears fully laden. 2.7 still seems high on mine. I might get good fuel economy but wearthe middle of the tyre out.
2.5 I think.

Run our f/l Estate on 34psi front, 36psi rear - same as on old Elite Estate.  Find this suits our needs

I run 16 and 17" tyres at that pressure, absolutely fine in the snow

18"s I run at 35/38 as they have a bit less give...

Trucks run at 110/100 or there aboots

I'm going to Liverpool next week, I'll try the 'eco' pressure and see what I get.

Don't forget the jack and bricks locking wheel nuts

I used to run my old cdx on 36psi front and 40psi rear, failure to keep those pressures caused excessive tyre wear and early changes, it was running as a hackney carriage at the time !
