HELLO EVERONE, IAM NEW TO THIS, SO PLEASE DONT BITE!

IVE JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT A SECOND HAND IS200

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS THE IDEAL TYRE PRESSURE FOR MY MICHELLIN'S 17's 215/45

HOPE TO HEAR FROM U' ALLL


EYE

There should be a sticker on either the passenger or driver door jam ( yhe bit you see when you open the door ).

GREAT THANKS.
THAT DIDNT TAKE LONG.
I GET A BIT OF TYRE RUMBLE WHEN I TRAVEL AT LOW SPEEDS (10-20 MPH), IS THAT NORMAL




THANKS

Just turn up the stereo.... you won't notice

But seriously... the IS200 does suffer from some tyre noise, most noticable at motorway speeds.

True - but also dependent on the type of tyre you have...

and the type and quality of surface .......

if they are rotational make sure they are on the right side i.e not opposite sides

When I bought by new lexus from motorpoint, Derby, I had a very bumpy ride all the way back home to Portsmouth.

I thought it might just be due to being a new car!! Then I had the sense to check the tire pressure and found out that they were at a mammoth 52 psi for my 215/45.

I suppose cars in Holland cruise usually at speeds of >160mph?

wouldn't know the average speed in Holland I'm afraid - but WAY over inflated if you ask me....

I think they should be about 34 depending on load and speed. Check the pillar when drivers door is open, it has a table for them on it.

the max speed in holland is 80mph

the over inflation is to stop "flat spots" on the tyres while the car is parked up for a time............i.e awaiting a buyer

thanks for the info. reducing the pressure down has made a big difference, obviously to the ride

Hi all

Seeing all your posts regarding tyre pressures on your IS200's I would be interested to know what the correct pressures are for the standard sport wheels on a GS300Mk1 with 45 profile 245's.
I have swopped from the standard GS300 Mk1 alloys and presume pressures are not the same.
