My Primacy LC size 195/60R15, car weight less than 1.2 ton. I pump 250kpa front and 240kpa rear.

If yours is a MPV, you should go higher pressure as this tyre only single ply side wall, rather soft.

just to clarify..do you mean that we should pump higher for Primacy LC?

Yes, little bit higher pressure is better for Primacy LC, or else cornerning not stable due to soft sidewall.

 

The max pressure stated on Primacy LC sidewall is higher than other tyre, so can take the slightly higher pressure. If I remember correctly, other tyre of my size max pressure 44psi, Primacy LC max 51psi.

follow watever in your manual and add 20-30kpa

I'm using PS3 195/50R15 is it can pump up to 250kpa for front & 240kpa for rear? If stock tyre was 175/65R14, front 230kpa & rear 220kpa

Maximum pressure displayed on side wall of tyre is meant for max load designed for the tyre.

 

Always follow manual or inflation decals found at driver side B-pillar.

 

Different types of tyres designed and constructed differently to suit demands of road condition and driver.

 

So if you have comfi tyres, hope you dont pump it up till feel like sports tyre. You can fool the feel that it is firmer due to the increased pressure but not the performance.

 

My 2 cents
