29 psi??

[197]

Have checked the tyre pressures today and they were at 32 psi which i thought looked low. Reduced them to 29 psi which is what is recommended for the standard conti 3's, and they now look really flat on the front! Is 29 psi correct? :bounce1:

No, should be 33 at the front and 30 at the back its all in the red Clio book that has a 197 on the front.

If on the motorway use 35 all round.

hmm... i thought for normal driving was 33 front 30 back and for highway was 30 all round? 35 seems a bit high.

Yep 35 if used for long stints on the motorway, it’s all in the handbook :thumbsup:

Yes, definately in the Red Renaultsport Clio handbook that comes in addition to the normal Clio handbook.

Sorry, I might be being daft but if they were at 32psi and you thought they were low, why reduce them further??? Did mine the other week to 33/31 after they had fallen to 31/29 and it felt better.

im amazed how with the 197 its so easy to tell if they are wrong. When ive had tyres fitted before its felt awful! But after i have changed them to the correct setting its so different!
