133 sport tyre pressure?

[Twingojoe]

Unsure on the standard 16" pressures for front and rear?

 

[DrDrew]

It should be on the panel on your drivers door

 

[Twingojoe]

Doesnt seem to be there is why i ask

 

[DrDrew]

Ok, I'll go outside and take a photo of mine in the morning

 

[Twingojoe]

Lol or tell me

 

[Dazza1]

34 psi in the front and 32 psi in the backs mate

 

[Twingojoe]

Nice one. cheers!

Rather than make a new thread what are the standard tyres like?

Are they well known for being good/krap?
I know the old clio had tyres specifically developed for them is this the case with these?

 

[Dazza1]

They don't last very long mate some people have done 8k on them and had to change them. I've done 9k on mine and got 4.5mm left on them depends how u drive

 

[maggi200]

I got 11k out of the fronts on mine.

They're lovely to drive on but before the legal tread depth they just dropped off

I ignored mine somewhat and played till I got pressures that suited me though. Very happy with how it handles now

I've got these mileages out of mine

Fronts:
7k
6.5k
8.5k

Rears:
22k and still going haha

 

[DrDrew]

I've got some Dunlop Sport Maxx TTs on my 133, and in the last 4.5K miles I've used approx 1mm of front tyre tread. They're pretty comparable in terms of grip to the Continentals for most use from my experience too

 

[maggi200]

James do you not rotate?

When mine went at 11k I put 205s on the back, and the rears on the front. And will rotate when theyre finished and will replace with 205s again.

 

[jra3d]

I remember too late in the cycle an then when I go too swap them they look so bad I don't want them on the rear for when the traffic police sit behind me haha

 

[maggi200]

Nah I let the fronts wear, replace them and switch then. Freshest tyres on the back. Especially in a car which loves a bit of lift off oversteer

Michelin and other manufacturers recomend putting the new (best) tyres on the rear.

 

[jra3d]

Oh really next time I'll just get them too swap need to wear them down lift off oversteer is good fun tho especially on a track/roundabout

 

[maggi200]

Yeah freshest on the back.

Understeer is far more containable than oversteer. Hence why you would have them that way around. How I've always done it
