Hi everyone, I am from Rio de Janeiro-Brazil and I just received my first MINI.
It is a 2011 model and I need some pointers about the pressure I should use in the tires. Thanks

Hi Luiz, welcome to NAM! 34psi is a great starting point.

^^Yup, generally 34psi is a good start point.^^
Really depends what you want for example: hypermilers set high psi for better fuel mileage, auto-xer set a lower front psi to rid understeer and higher rear psi to induce oversteer. But for Daily Driving 34-35 psi is perfect.
