Cheers, Sian

it fully depends on the car but the haynes says 2 bar=29 psi so it should be around that. Im sure other members run all sorts of pressures it has been talked about before and there was quite a difference

[miniman5]

well, your running 12's from the pic so they should be at 30 psi, you can get a tool, its like a pen, you take the dust cover off and press it over where you put the pump onto and a little thing will pop out with a number and thats your tyre dresure!

Or go to your local petrol station and use the air machine...

on all my local machines they dont give pressures for mini's, plus the machine doesnt tell you the pressure its the sign next to it that does :tongue:

deary me! what station is that?, we go to shell because its free that gives you a little reading, i get confused with it though, i supose foot pumps are the best, keep you fit while you pump the tyres up, mine was a cheap one and it flopprd all over the place so i smashed it to bits! ask miniman!

[minipixie]

well i went to the petrol station and it doesnt tell u, u can only choose the pressure u want, so i jus guessed at 30psi?? will that be ok?? do hope so, cus iv drove home now

[Bungle]

thats what i run mine on with 6x12s

[minipixie]

does that mean it;s too much for mine?

[Bungle]

if you have 4 1/2 x12s then that should be ok as well

[minipixie]

im sorry im a ickle confussled....(it doesnt take much)

what do u mean by 4 1/4 x12s ?? :fear:

[Teapot]

Beware of petrol station air pumps ... they are unreliable ... unless you just use the pump and check the pressure with your own gauge which you know is accurate

[mattvallins]

There are not many accurate wyas of knowing your tyre pressure....
I have heard even those little gauges you press onto the valve can be about 15-20% out! If they are about 30psi then they will be fine!
The 4.5x12s is the size of your wheel, 4.5 inches thick and 12 inches diameter :wink:
Bungles are thicker than yours, 6inches thick!

[minipixie]
