same pressure I pump. Find it the most optimal for stock tyres for fuel Economy

Front higher because got engine load + Driver, thus more pressurce on the both front tires.

The pressure quoted is when the tyres are cold. To cater for factors of expansion and contraction, we should pump slightly more. Mine is 250 front and 230 back.

The front tire i ever pump until 280 and back tire 260, when the tire is hot. Sounds a bit scary yah?
And i achieve 15km/litre

Then i drop to 265 for front and 245 for back, pump when tire is hot, also 15km/litre.

I think i will stick with these pressure. My tires and rims are stock.

different station pump different calibration. So if u go to Caltex station pump 230, then drive to Esso, then u try u be shock the reading is 250. Then U drive to shell wah the reading is 210.

So stick to your regular pump.

SPC pump the most lao ya. Esso and Caltex quite ok, but caltex must see location.

If you pumped when your tyre is hot, should be o.k, but if your tyre is cold and you pumped 280, then is scary.  :bleh:

don't you guys feel the ride is bumpy if tire pressure at 270? i once tried 240 front and 220 back, my wife complians too bumpy for her to read the pda screen.  she will feel headache after a while reading the pda screen.

Bro,

You pumped 280 when cold, it may reach more than 300kpa when hot. Becareful, take it as a sound advise. You can see why some encountered burst tyres on NSHW.   :zipped:

The max pressure is indicated on the tyre. Think for our stock, it is 250 kpa. Be careful for bros pumping much higher than this.

I kenna one time before when i pumped at one of the stations. Can't seem to hear the buzzer that indicated the intended pressureg has been reached. Go to next door station, discovered that instead of pumping more air, the previous pump drew air from the tyres. The pressure has fallen to below 150 KPa.
