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.
Intermarché, 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 40ºC 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
