On European mainland at petrol stations when you want to check your tyre
pressure you only find filling terminals showing in bars pressure. So you
are helpless if you don?t know the correct tyre pressure in bar.
I personally do not know the tyre pressure for my cars in PSI. I need to
take a calculator as on this side of the pond we think different. Be aware
we arre living here in a different world compared to the USA in many kind
of things. Also driving here is very different to the conditions you have
in the USA.

It all depends on the system of measurements one uses. With the exception
of Bob Spidell, most of us in the USA, and down under want to know PSI.
That said, knowing the math behind it helps. Thank you Harold! BTW, I do
not set the front and rear pressures at two bar (29 psi for those who might
have missed that suggestion). I use 222.22 kPa (32 PSI) front and 201.39
kPa (29 PSI) rear.
To ensure accuracy, I use a ?Fluke? measurement tool which can be found at

What's all this 'bar' stuff? That how many bars you can hit before you
have to check your tyre pressure?
Us Yankees want to know kilopascals ;)

Just returned from the Italian/French mountain passes. Loads of fun,
even with a fully laden Kia Rio I was repatriating, also thanks to the
climate control on board. If you are returning during the weekend I
strongly advise you to avoid the Toll roads and Motorways, they may be
very crowded and slow, are expensive, very, very boring and the
services and meals are lousy.
Tap in "avoid motor ways and/or toll roads" on your (up to date!!!!)
GPS or smart phone and enjoy the really excellent secondary and smaller
roads. It will take a bit longer but is so more pleasant with nice
places to see, many excellent small restaurants, hotels on the way,
plenty of arm muscle exercise and the petrol is way cheaper. Just be
aware that petrol is mainly sold along the road near the larger towns
and at the hyper markets e.g. Intermarch?, very well indicated
beforehand often near industrial estates. Do carry a 10 litre jerrycan
with petrol, just in case.
Tyre pressure also depends on temperature, I had over 40?C with tarmac
melting. I would settle for around 2bar for this size of tyre in
general.

Hi
Getting the car ready for a drive to the South of France taking in
the Route des Grandes Alpes all the way to Menton. Then back mostly
on Motorways.
So the drive will be a mixture of Motorways and Mountain Pass
Roads.
Question therefore is what Bar Pressure should I put in for the
different roads.
I have 72 spoke wheels all fitted with relatively new Vredestein
Tyres 185/70, HR15, 89H
As usual I look forward to the benefit of your collective wisdom
Many thanks
