eggsy Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hi there i have 205/55 R16 tyres on my mondeo tdci and im just wondering what people with similar tyres run there tyre pressures at?according to the manual normal running with more than one person should be 35 psi on the front and 41 psi on the back. that seems high to me or am i wrong as ive not had this car long? only had my car for 4 weeks so fairly new on here hope i can help out with comments when ive had my motor a little longer cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraYankee99 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 32psi all round normal carriage std wheels, fully loaded 36psi front 40psi rear. However from my mondeo days you'll find that 34psi all round will give a better ride and slightly better handling without damaging the tyres.

SierraYankee99 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Well they're only recommendations after all. As long as you're somewhere in the ballpark you'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
