Inflation number??

Hello all,
Recently bought some Kumho Ectsa SPT's, 205/55/15 mounted on Graphite Konig Rewinds (Yes---pics very soon!!).....I'm trying to find recommended inflation figure.....they list 51lbs as max. Nothing on Kumho website. Anyone else with this setup for daily drivers have an inflation number?? I know the MCS 16's were 33lbs with the 195/55/16 runflats.

Thanks!

The 51 pounds inflation you see is the "Maximum" pressure allowable for that sized tire. It's not the recommended pressure for your MINI. That would be 32 to 38 psi depending on which MINI you have and how many people are in your car.

For your MINI no matter which normal sized (not compact spare) tire you use:
For two people use about 32 to 34 psi and for four people use about 37 to 38 psi.
