Hi hope some one can help i'm running an Nova standered 15" Alloys with 195/45 R15 78V tyres would anyone know the ideal tyre pressure's for these thanks :confused:

About 26-30 psi id say.

I've looked in a manual for the tigra with 195/55 R15 and that says 33 front and 31 back cant be much difference can there?

About 32psi front/ 30psi rear, you dont want them too low makes the parking harder ;)

Doesn't a Tigra weigh more than a Nova, with weight in different places? The pressure could be a bit less or more than that of the Tigra. I guess its best just to test different pressures.

i'd guess 28 front, 32 rear for a start, and be prepared to road test till you are personally happy with the balance.

A lad who used to work for my brother had 18's on a 1.2 corsa, and on the sidewalls it read max pressure 51psi, so he ran them at 50psi. it could spin on the straight at 30mph.

Cheers people will test on thanks.

Well if he full his tyres up to 50psi then tbh mate he cant have much going on in his head, firstly his tyres would wear out very fast in the middle and also I bet it handled like **** and every pot hole he went down I bet he was scared of a blow out....

Anyway, I think that 30 front and 28 back would be good to start at.

Let us know what you find best

start with what the tyre says to do... end of the day anything goes wrong its not your fault is it... then adjust slightly from what they say for a better ride and grip
