im running the standard 215/65r16 98s tyres. what is the ideal tyre tyre pressure i should use.. i run mostly on the road.. i cant find the sticker that gives all this info..

The sticker on my driver door post says 200kPa (2 bar) - nothing is said about full load...

Strange...: I just read Babber's last post under the Likes & Dislikes thread - he mentioned a (higher) tire pressure of 220 also as per his door sticker. Why the different sticker recommendations?

In my case the tyres are factory fitted Toyo's 215/70 (M+S type). But also for lower 65 profile tyres the sticker still recommends 200 kPa. Either the standard fitted tyres are quite different in Canada, or could it be because of the lower average temperature (I doubt)?

hey i found the sticker and it says 200kpa

x-trail extreme

Mine says 220kpa (32psi). Isn't it based on your factory tires?

Unless I was reading mine wrong, but what would throw me off is that me rears where infated to 220 but my fronts 200. I thought I read 220.I'll have to run out and go check on it...it's bothering me now..

ok just checked mine say 220 cold tire inflation I am running on 215/65/16 96H. I do have original tires on the X

Canada's Far East

For what it's worth - a comment on tire pressures....

The stated pressure on the placard is intended for (among other things) optimal ride comfort...somewhat soft, smooths out the bumps better.

If you increase the pressure by several lbs/sq. in you'll improve the "rolling" ride of the tire - less road resistance - and it will help your fuel economy somewhat. It will also lighten the steering a tad.

Does not appear to detract significantly from ride comfort - I run mine 4 lbs above placard in the non-Winter seasons. For Winter traction, I go with the specs or even slightly below.

Maybe other members have similar or different experiences........

Cheers
