Use the factory recommended setting you will get a better conering the persona will not goyang soo much at 120km-140km best . . . best. . . but I had to check it regularly now I pump 230

Proton's recommendation Is 210kg(31psi) front & 190kg(28psi) rear when tires are COLD. I think most of you would check your tire pressure at the petrol station. So after driving vehicle for about 5km-10Km or so, tires would have heated up & the hot air in the tires would have increase the pressure by at least 4 pounds. I have always measured the tire pressure of my car with my own gauge when tires are hot. Funny for Proton to recommend COLD reading.

So, I think 35 psi (front) & 32 psi (rear) would be OK/ideal if vehicle has been running for some time. Anything higher would make ride bumpy & will cause unnecessary vibrations in the car which may in turn be bad for some components in the car. But by looking at the hot tires, 35psi(frt) & 32psi(rr) seems under deflated. If you want to sacrifice comfort for better fuel consumption, by all means, inflate tires a bit more but not more than 40psi which I think that's why Proton inflate tires of new vehicles with this pressure.

Tyre pressure should always be checked when they are cold. Do any vehicle manufacturer recommend HOT reading smile_question.gif

What tyres are you using? How about the tyres pressure and FC?
