Right tyre pressure for my baleno

premdiv · 11th July 2006, 22:33

i have upgraded tires of my baleno lxi to goodyear GT3 tubeless 185/65R14 tyres. But i dont have any idea about the right tire pressure. in the tyre it is marked as 44Psi max. please help me out in choosing the right tyre pressure. My usual driving route is 15 km city and 10 km highway.

Company recomended pressure would the ideal figure to start with. Then on, you can increase or decrease it depending on ride comfort and tyre wear.

I fill 32psi on my GIIIs, thats bcos i do a lot of high-speed driving. Haven't experienced uneven wear so far.

company recommended pressure on the Baleno Vxi (185/65 R 14 Goodyear Eagle NCT 5 Tubeless tyres) is 25 PSI (confirmed)... someone told me they recommend increasing it to 29 on for highway only (unconfirmed).
I have also got the same (185/65 R 14 Goodyear Eagle NCT 5 Tubeless tyres) on my Baleno Lxi...done 20K till now and experienced a bit more wear in the centre compared to the sides (indicated overinflation). I always used to keep my tyre pressure around 30-31 psi...now have rediced it to 28...
hope this helps

so its better to settle for 28psi even though the marking is 44 psi

Allow me to confirm it

@premdiv, try and get hold of any new VXi manual. The recommended pressures for 185/65 are mentioned there.
I maintain 27-28.

The tyre rating is the max the tyre should be inflated with. How much you actually inflate depends on the vehicle on which they are being used.
