New tyres all round for me tomorrow it has been another expensive month!

I am currently running the rears with 21psi and the fronts with 20psi would anyone advise different pressures to these for road use, the new tyres are Pirelli's.

Secondly, could you enlighten me on the correct torque setting for the wheel bolts?

Lastly where is the best place to jack the car up safely front and rear to avoid an even more expensive month!

Cheers

I run Pirelli's, 15psi front, 18psi rear.

Wheel bolts 65ft/lbs rings a bell, should be in the manual.

Jacking, front chassis rail that the steering rack is fixed two, you should have two lines of rivets underneath as a guide. Rear - second chassis rail from the back. Always jack the front or rear up on the cars centre line.

Cheers for the reply factory told me yesterday 20-21 psi rears? recently had the suspension set up and was told 20psi front. It drove well with the previous settings so I reckon I will stick with them.
