as above...wads ur setting?

230 for fuel efficiency in sg, 220 when up north

as above...wads ur setting?

Normal Air
- As per manufacturer's recommendation, optimised for night driving. +5-10 kPA depending on load and weather.

Nitrogen
- +5-10kPa from manufacturer's recommendation, optimised for night driving. +5kPA depending on load and weather.

250-270kpa, recommended air pressure sticker pasted near my fuel cap

240 front, 230 back. For heavy load, 250 and 240.

250 all round

follow the settings at the driver's door sticker.

Nothing to discuss because it's already written down on the sticker on the driver's side door. Unless you want to deviate from it cos you think you are an automotive engineer?

Rear 275. Front 265.
Tyre size and width different from stock, and very jiak oil, thus pump 275. 275 kpa still giving 4.5-5km per liter

In mud and sand, if im stuck, i will lower it to increase footprint. Then pump up again whwn reach gravel road. Currently dont have real time tyre pressure monitoring system.

Pump 220~230 first, slowly adjust for comfort.

If want fuel savings straight pump 240 and above.

Why pump higher pressure more fuel saving?

Why pump higher pressure more fuel saving?

At higher pressure yr tire tends to take on a curved shape with less thread contacting the road. This leads to less friction and less fuel consumption.

I see. But the trade off is more slippery and less gripe?

yes.. hence you need to factor in stopping distance (especially in the wet) while driving..

For me i pump 235kpa all round.

No speeding no such problem. Straight 250.

 

[vaxvms]

scare less grip /slippery when pump high pressure than install BBK

260 for all.

17".
