Hi
Just wondering what the tyre pressures should be set at on my ST when cold
Think from looking at the door card should be 32psi front 26psi back is that correct?
Thanks
Tyre Pressures
Yes, with no load. I think the lower one is maximum, at least that's how I've always read them.

The upper and the lower figures relate to the speed
V <= 100mph
V > 100mph
Unless you're tracking it then go for the smaller value

Best setting I have found for the ST is 34psi on the Front & 29psi on the rear. Norma! Load.
Can make a difference on how the car handles and affect tyre wear when set to high or to low.
Experiment within the specified range.
Don't rely on the 'on screen' read out... Adjust pressures manually when tyres are cold using a good external gauge.
...and don't forget the OAT (outside air temperature) affects pressures.

I have 33 at the front and 31 at the back and get around 43.2mpg in Sport Mode.

The lower psi at rear is better ride for passengers and I have mine set at door card always have on all my cars, the wear is even and notice the ST feels to me better over the terrible roads around where I liveRays1 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 5:12 pm Best setting I have found for the ST is 34psi on the Front & 29psi on the rear.
