[seejaylk]

hi

I am wondering what should be the correct tire pressure for the low profile tires(205/50/16) and how should i determine the tire pressure, please help me..

thanks

I put 33 PSI on 17inch 40mm profile ones...the lower the profile higher the PSI I think...so around 31 or 32 should be adequate for yours.

Mine's 225/16/50 and I put 34psi all around.

:unsure:

usually i put 30psi... but car seems more bouncy and stiff... is it normal?

Could be bumpy coz of your suspension and stiff coz of low profile tyres

What is the car?

[seejaylk]

Lancer CK2, today reduce tire pressure to 28psi... now its seems littl better... but is there any affect to Tires?

Is that that Factory Spec for the vehicle? In mine it says 34 in the Front and 32 at the back. I think more than the tire, the vehicle has a specific psi.

Its the factory spec for the tires.. must check what the factory spec psi is, however 28 is the figure that I've tried as tested on this and my previous car.. IMO this is the best compromise for tire-suspension durability

you have the choice 28-30psi and nothing more for Sri lanka! My choice is 29 ;-)

I agree wih this too. mine is 15/55/195. I had 30 some time back and car is was vibrating in uneven roads. Changed to 28. Felt huge difference before and after. So any thing between 28-29 should be ok here.

I am on 30 psi (Nitrogen) for 235/50/18.
