    Got 15" wheels on just now...165/65/15.

    What should be the correct tyre pressure?

    Doesn't say on door pillar.

    Thanks

    I would say 30psi would be around about normal, but sure what the manual for MINI says as I've never had that small a wheel on ma motor :I

    No idea what it should be on an S. I had a ONE and the recommended pressures were a bit weird. 35psi on the rear, 30 on the front.

    Can't go far wrong with 32 all round.

    32 is probabaly a good guess as well Ken...

    Kim and I went down through the borders for a run today...even past The Pavillion Cinema as well! ..past loads of MINI's...no waves back though

    Quite enjoy the 15" 's...maybe 2 more PSI would be good...but they are still fun to drive on

    You went past the cinema and you didn't stop by to say hello.

    Well...we were all shy:I

    Actually...if it hadn't been for the fact that we had only met you guys for no longer than ten minutes on a run in October, we may have stopped to say "Hi"

    I did fancy seeing the new screen...but thought that Sunday is probably one of your busiest days...

    We will be back down that way again in due course...so keep the popcorn hot!
