Bros,

 

wat's the recommend tyres pressure for 17" low profile tyres? (PSI/KPA)

 

Once i seek advice from autobacs mech guy, that fellow reckoned it should be around 220 ~ 230 KPA.

 

Whereas some (not mechanic) says, i should follow wat's stated on the tyres concerning the tyres pressure. But it says 350 KPA...

 

huge difference betweem 230 KPA and 350 KPA... wat is (are) the consequences of pumping 350 KPA to a low profile tyres?

 

so ultimately, who should i believe?

 

230kpa is Ok for 17" tyres but please check the label on your driver door to double confirm.

 

NEVER pump to 350kpa! It is the MAXIMUM pressure the tyre can take, not what your car need.

Pump 240kpa-270pa wehen cold for 17" low profile should be good.

erm i think the door label shows stock tyres information bah?

 

my ride is a 2nd hand car, so the previous owner changed from 15" stock to 17" sports rim plus 17" low profile tyres

 

is there any standard guideline tyres pressure?

350 kpa is max. ur ride will confirm feel like flintstones after that. i pump 240-245kpa and it's firm but still comfy without being harsh.

Ah thanks bro!

 

I guess 240 KPA should fit the bill :)

 

peace of mind finally
