Nissan Micra K10 - tyre pressure

[VeX7]

Hi, I have a question about tyre pressure on Micra K10 '91, 1.0.

Mine Micra has original wheels with Michelin Energy tires, 155/70 R13. I was wondering, what is recommended tyre pressure for that size? Tried to find that information in car manual and on the internet, but wasn't lucky..
I usually put it on 2.0/2.1 bar, is that ok and what is the highest value to put it on?


Thanks for answers, appreciate it!

Open up the drivers door and there's a sticker that tells you, personally I put between 30 and 32 psi

yeah.. but problem is I don't have that sticker, nowhere.. neither on doors, neither on fuel cap..

It wouldn't be on the fuel cap lol, it's always on the edge of the bodywork where the drivers door closes

I wouldn't agree with you, some cars have that info. on the inner side of fuel cap - vauxhall astra for example. Thanks anyway, think I'll stick with my 2.1bar!

I don't have a sticker either. I actually put my tyre pressure to 40 psi / 2.7 bar. Saves quite some fuel, don't know if it is actually that good for the tyres. Mine need to be replaced in the near future anyways, so I thought I'll give it a try.

Higher tyre pressures are good for economy but in the wet tends to help you slide about a bit too much. and yeah probably tends to make them wear quicker. i always thought the standard tyre pressure was around 30psi?

Yes it's best at 30 psi as this wears the tyre evenly and gives best traction and economy. If a tyres too low, it causes poor fuel economy and wear to the outer edges , and if the tyres too higher pressure, you get wear in the centre of the tread plus a very harsh ride!.

Found this on my k10 after reading this.
