tyre pressure 3.0 terrano
on the driver door the tyre pressure are 26 front 29 rear but my two front tyres are worn at the outside edges.I went onto kwik fit web and they say 30 front 36 rear.Can any one tell me the correct unladen and laden tyre pressures as I tow a large caravan as I cannot find anything on the web.
Thanks |

The sticker on the door frame should be the correct pressure. Are the tyres wearing on both outside edges of both tyres or just one outside edge of each tyre?

The door sticker should be correct and my T2 says the same. 26 front and 29 rear with full load of passangers. However, it may be that you need higher pressure if having heavier load than a full load of passangers on board. A maximum pressure for each tyre will be given on the tyre but this is not the correct tyre pressure for the tyre when it is on your vehicle.

your tyre wear maybe down to steering geometry, take it to a tyre fitter who does a free check!

hi, tyres expand as they get older if you look at tyre wall you,ll see max inflation [usually 55 psi] so you could safely try 32f 36r and how they wear.

Hi
Had the same problem says on the door sticker 26 front 29 rear. Met someone on a campsite who had a terrano and he said put 30/32 front and 35/36 rear. Cured the problem they now wear even. Chaz |
