M sport tyre pressure

Post by Marrow » Mon Apr 18, 2016 6:33 pm

Hi all I tried a search but it seems a little inconclusive what is the right tyre pressure for 3.0d lci Malory running 20s ?
In the door I think it was 2.1 f and 2.3 bar rear seems a little low to me?

Thanks

The factory pressure is what you need.  I have never used anything else on mine and never had a problem.

So do I!  Mine has 255 x 50 x 19 on the front and 285 x 45 x19 on the rear.  The diagram on the door gives the pressures for normal running and for fully loaded, which I use when towing the caravan.  If tyres are overinflated the centre of the tread will run off very quickly, especially on the rears if the car is rarely carrying any weight in the back.
