I´m planning on changing my stock lousy 175/65 15 tires pretty soon, but was wondering if something needs to be done to the tire pressure meters so they´ll work on the new tires.

I´m keeping my stock rims.

Thanks

 

I believe you just reset as per the manual.
Someone will correct me if I am wrong.

 

2 mini's is right.

Thanks a lot.

I just got my Mini´s "new shoes". I got the Michelin Pilot Exalto tires, which are supposedly made for sport compacts.

Mini feels great! After skidding 5 times with the stock 175/65 15 pirellis I got tired of these terrible tires. The new ones grab the pavement like claws.

Now I just have one more question. The owner´s manual (on the Mini) states a tire pressure of 30 psi on my stock tires, and also for cars with the 195/55 16 inch tires. Should I keep the tire pressure at 30? The tire dealer set them at 35 psi, but I think the car is going to bounce a lot with this pressure.

What do you recommend?

 

30 psi cold.

That´s what I thought. I did reset the pressure to 30 psi on cold tires.

Thanks so much Alex.
