Tyre pressure question for 16 inch 205's

[StuartT]

Hi,

I've recently come back to a Leon and I've bought a 1.8 FR. I'm running it with winter tyres at the moment on 16 inch steels - yeah they JUST fit - but I'm unsure of tyre pressures.

The petrol cap specifies the 17 inch wheels.

Can anyone with 16 inch wheels, probably an SE, get me front and rear tyre pressures? Or failing that, people who are running 16 inch winter tyres.

Many thanks.

Full car or 3 people?

3 people would be great, thanks.

There you go

Perfect, Thanks! Surprised at only 26psi rears. I'd have expected 32 all round.

As winters normally need +2psi I'll probably do 31 front and 28 rear, still lower than I expected. My old Fabia Monte Carlo on 16 winters was about 32-34.

Yeah I was quite shocked when I first had to top up the pressure. I've always put 32 in my previous cars
