Tyre Pressures

[matty2767]

i have a 2004 d4d 2ltr. in the handbook it says the tyre pressures should be 35psi all round. my car has just been for a service and they set the pressure to be 39psi all round. the Bridgestone website says different again (although it wont work tonight so i cannot paste the link). what should the pressures be?.

should i go with the handbook or the people who make the tyres?

cheers

The Michelin website refers the user to the car manufacturers handbook/door pillar for pressures

I think on my 2.2, 35psi is the standard recommended pressure, 39psi is the 'high speed/heavy load' figure. There is a sticker inside the driver's door pillar showing this. Whatever, I would stick to Toyota's figures not Bridgestone's - the same tyre on different cars (ie differing weights and performance characteristics) should not necessarily be at the same pressure.

on the Bridgestone website you can go through the options and be car specific down to 5 or 4 doors. but I will stick to the handbook
