Correct tire pressure

Post by laurentiu »

I have a Corsa B 1.2

I'm not exactly sure what is the correct tire pressure for front/back tires. I know normally there's stickers on the door sides or it's mentioned in the user's manual but since I don't have any of those , can someone please check theirs and tell me ?? I think any model with a 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 should have the same so it doesn't matter if yours is not 1.2.

Thank you very much

Front 32 and back depends on how much weight u have in it. If its just u most of the time 28/29 is fine but if your like me and have a boot of speakers and fat people in the back then 31 is probz best. hope that helps

it dont make too much diff around 30 front and rear is fine. If you have a full car a lot put bit more in back and if you dont have power stearing put a bit more in front (easiers for turning). Or if you wanna do it propa ask ur local garage they wont charge to tell you
