Hi.
I have a 2001 Ford Escort Finesse Estate fitted with Pirelli P6000 195/50 R15 V-rated tyres.
All figures are for normal use as I only ever carry a maximum of two passengers.
The handbook and the Ford dealer say: Front: 2.4 bar (35psi) Rear: 2.2 bar (32 psi).
The tyre dealer (KwikFit) says 2.2 bar (32 psi) all round.
Autodata says: Front: 2 bar (29psi) Rear: 1.8 bar (26 psi).
The Pirelli website has no information so I have emailed them.
The handbook pressures seem very high to me. I have been running them at the Autodata pressures and have not noticed any problems.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance, Martin.
