Hi there everybody. Just wondering if anybody could let me know what the recommended tyre pressure would be for my 1986 Austin Mini City E, as I am slightly concerned that they need inflating.

I hope someone can help!

Thanks guys

Do you know what wheels/tyres you have on? They vary quite a bit if they're not standard, and even if they are standard you'll probably get a difference of opinion. I've been recommended anything between 28 and 32 for my tyres, and I can never remember whether this is PSI or BAR but you will soon find out at the air machine

28 front 24 rear

PSI not bar, you will explode at 28 bar!!!!!

LOL i dont know many petrol stations running 28 bar compressors

Assuming it's on the standard 12" wheels with 145/70r12 tyres...

Haynes will tell you the recommended values.
I ran 30psi front, 28psi rear when I had these tyres/wheels.

Same. Try this and see how you go in the wet. I used to run some 'Sime' tyres that were really poor in the wet, so I dropped it down to 28f/26 for more grip

The Manual will say 2 Bar or 28 psi all round for 12 inch wheels...
