    Hi all,

    Just wondering what the best tyre pressures would be for a 1.0L Corsa 2001
    3dr model with michelin energy tyres (radial XSE - 175/65R14 82T-XT1).

    Vauxhall, my local dealer, company I service with, the handbook and various
    websites have a lot of very different figures. Just had car serviced and
    front put up to 34 and back 31. I normally run with 31 front and 27 back.
    Handbook for not exactly the same tyre but close says 30 front 23 back and
    vauxhall was something completely different.

    Can anyone shed any light on what figures would be best?!

    Thanks!

    TBH, your tyre pressure will vary by 3-4lbs this time of year anyway due to
    outside temp/air pressure & day/night & journey length temp diffs, etc, so i
    wouldn't worry too much about 'setting' it correctly.

    stick with a medium pressure and make sure your tyre are balanced & your
    toe-in. tracking front/back is up to scratch, that accounts for more wear
    than anything.
