How much air in 205/50/16 tyres ?

[mjc85]

Hey i need to pump my tyres, getting a bit flat, it doesn't say on the tires what pressure to use. What pressure should i use for 205/50/16's ? Do i put different in front and rear ?

I usually run a bit higher than 33 - I do around 36-37 up front, and 34-35 in the rear. For most road driving, it's usually 36 front and 35 rear.

33 seems kind of low, but since I have tires on 14" rims, I want to make as little sidewall movement as possible. ;)

I run 32-34psi cold front and back in my 205/50/16s. Gets up to around 38psi when warmed up.

That setup is more prone to understeer. Switch to 40 in the front and 36 in the rear, and you should have more oversteer.

I run 35psi cold for the street with the same tire size.
