What was the psi in the tyre?

Duncan, that seems a bit high, especially as you're wearing the tyre, are you using the guide on the inside of the drivers door for the correct pressureQuote:

the fronts wear more in the middle, pressure is the recommended 35psi which is higher than any other car I have owned.
These are the pressures out of the manual for the standard tyre combinations

First figure is in bar then the ones in brackets are kPa and finally psi
Some good articles on tyres, pressures, wear etc can be found here - just use the pull down menu to select the articles
Fair enough Martin, but the MINI stuff is for the North American market.
I'd check the UK owners handbook.
Cheers Duncan, just checked figures are correct as per the UK spec manual - only difference is tyre is spelt incorrectly :D Saves me scanning the page in again - if anyone prints it out just tippex out the word tire and replace it with tyre :D
Just noticed my manual does differ from the chart for 175/65 R15 tyres it quotes 2.1(210/30) for fronts and 2.4(240/35) rears with two people.
Its probably the same, just they can't spell the word tyre properly! :D

well I will be digging out my manual as soon as I get home as I am sure manual says 35psi front, 30psi back with two people, 35/35 with full load!Quote:

Page 79 Duncan!, my manual does differ from the chart for 175/65 R15 tyres it quotes 2.1(210/30) for fronts and 2.4(240/35) rears with two people. Is that what you have?
