Duwsh Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Hey got a Mk7 fiesta and picking up my friend, her son with their two suitcases from the airport in a couple of weeks and want to get the tire pressure right, I’ve found this information online but the rear loaded pressure seems awfully high compared to normal pressure - just wanted to make sure it was right. Any advice welcome. Just an FYI it’s the middle one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanfp Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Yup. That's what Ford recommend. I think most people don't bother changing for the odd journey. Also, the picture on the door pillar normally shows 5 people plus their bags, I think, so you will only be 'half-loaded'. So I'd ease the 33 up to 35 front, and the 26 up to 35 rear for your airport journey.... and then leave them at those pressures! It's always a compromise, as you can't change tyre pressures every time you give someone a lift or go to B&Q for two bags of cement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Yes mine also shows that wide variation on the rear. Sometimes I drive my car on my own sometimes full of people or sometimes with cement sacks etc in back. I set my rears to 33psi . It’s a bit impractical to keep changing the pressure.

So do you run 33 /33 all the time? Dow the tyres wear ok? How does the car feel? Looking for my Son's new car.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Yes, tyre wear seems fine, car feels fine . I’ve done 70k miles so if something wAsnt right I would have noticed by now. But I have 165/75/14 tyres which are not common (econetic diesel). Three quarters of my driving is 70 mph on motorway/ good dual carriageway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
