How much Kpa?

EvilPorkChop SG

Hi all lancer-yans, juz wanted to ask how much is the correct tyre pressure in front and at the back? 250Kpa???

Confused

nightsky87 SG

think min pressure 200?

AE86tofu SG

wah lau....even BMW 7 series also dun pump 250 kpa...lol....200kpa enough liao la

Ponders SG

why you must use Kpa?

but i think it's 220kpa.

you open your lancer door on the driver side. the sticker there should tell you how much kg/cm2 you should fill.

if i am not wrong 1000 kpa = 1 kg/cm2

Ponders SG

how much pressure you should fill does not rely on the model of the car.

It depends on your tire profile lah.

AE86tofu SG

not just that la...weight is also one factor....

nightsky87 SG

ok.. 29psi Mr. Green

Ponders SG

yup. wun dispute you on this..

but most vehicles.... on their OEM tires.. should suffice with 30 PSI...

unless you want to change rims or change tires.

AE86tofu SG

y u all use PSI one....i either use BAR or KPA.... Confused

Ponders SG

sorry lah.. i got interested in cars when i was in North America.. so everything i learn in American measures..

lazy to convert.

AE86tofu SG

dont tell me u like american cars.... Laughing

I tot the pumps at the petrol stations are all in kPA?

tomsss SG

Eurovanclub ppl pump their 14 inch tyres up to 300kpa... even i dun ever think about pumping anywhere near to that level Laughing

AE86tofu SG

well for BMW's space saving spare tyre...it is inflated up to 420 KPA... Laughing i think those eurovan ppl pump to 300KPA cos they are gonna carry heavy stuff? Confused

tomsss SG

ya carry ppl, sofa and all the speakers and subs Mr. Green

Ponders SG

depends what you mean by american cars. haha

Civics, Nissans, Benz M-class all made in USA/Canada.

But if you are talking about GMC, Ford... nah.. i think i will pass..

with few exceptions, Ford Focus, Chrysler caravan, and most chrysler cars.

Chrysler seems to be the only marque in USA cars that don't disappoint me.
