Seems pretty much correct. What do you think?

LO

Going by that table my 215/45r17s should be 2.6 bar which means 38psi

i have allways had them at 30 max

isn't 38 a bit high

Cheers

I have 215/40/17

and I have always put in 32 psi

so all seems abit high, unlesss thats what I should be putting in

Vehicle weight needs to be taken into account.

What's the max pressure these tyres can take? If its say 50PSI then going from 32 to 38 will be going from 64% 76% of max value, which is a pretty big jump. Ratty is right the vehicle weight needs to be taken into consideration (hence some manuals will give a different value depending on the number of people in the car)

Probably that's what is written in japanese on the bottom of the page

Bit rough but

Lines 1, 2 and 3 are to do with pressure under load and tyre condition.
The second to last line is about making sure everything is right/secure before driving away.
The last line says something along the lines of using the correct pressure otherwise fatal accidents can occur.
