What should be the correct tyre pressures for this car. I seem to get confusing information from service station attendants and others. This morning the attendant looked inside the drivers door and said it should be 29 psi all round - when I looked later I couldn't honestly see where he got that information from - the label was quite unclear. The manual gives different information and my late partner wrote a note in our car manual to say 34 for the front and 30 for the rear. At 29 psi this morning the tyres look a little underinflated to me. Can someone advise me please.

Pansy, you can’t go wrong if you were to inflate the tyres to 32 psi all-round.

If the spare is the space-saver type wheel (very skinny tyre) then inflate to around 60 psi.

Thank you very much - that is very helpful. The spare is one of those skinny wheels. Pansy
