Tyre Pressure

[Prince1]

Hi All

Just got an Auris 180RS, 1st time owner so obviously got lots to learn still, cold tyre pressure inflatiion is set as 220 kPa on the manual, but what do I put in when I get to the service statiion?

Thanks

A very warm welcome to you,Themba.

As pressures are affected by heat and you dont know how warm your tyres are when you get to the service station I would suggest perhaps putting a little extra pressure in and then getting a pressure guage and checking when they are "cold"

thanx so much crofter, do you reckon 270kPa a safe bet?

Caused a bit of head scratching there,pal,I am used to PSI myself.

By my calculations after conversion, that should not cause any problems in the short term,just a bit harder ride

Are you in America perchance ?

220 kPa is equivalent to iethr 2.2 Bar or 32 psi

A 270 Kpa is 39 psi - too high. To convert kPa to bar just divide by 10.

There are load of sites out here tha'll convert for you - here's just one example.
