Tyre pressures...

[David Godfrey]

Trying to work out what my tyre pressures should be as the sticker on the driver door jam seem really high.
Car's a 330D running front: 225 40 18 and rear 255 35 18

What's best to run them for general driving no more that 2 people?
Cheers

Should be 35psi front and 42psi rear.

Cheers Lee, all corrected they were 36 ish all round, can't say I noticed any difference on the way home, must have some impact on handling and tyre wear though?

Hi David - it will affect the handling, but I don't think I'd necessarily notice it as I am no F1 driver! So you may not feel any real difference. Just check how your tyres are wearing as they should wear evenly right across the tyre as long as pressures are OK, geometry is not out and all suspension components working as they should.
