Tyre pressures for a 206?

I have a 2001 Peugeot 206.

It has 17" alloys, low profile tyres.

Any idea on the tyre pressures? I'm always avoiding doing them as I have no idea what they should be and have decided to find out and get them done regularly :o.

Please help.. :A

    Your car handbook should tell you.

    They are not standard tyres for the car, so no sticker & never had a handbook for it, but I guess they would be for standard tyres too.

    I'll check out the link thanks :D

    30psi is 30psi whether it's on a 14" or 17" wheel, it's pounds per square inch so over an immeasurable distance the pressure is per square inch...just put 30psi in it and you'll be fine :wink:

    Look on the tyre, copy down the make, model and size. Go to the manufacturers website and look up their recommendation for your car and their tyre.

    That is what I did last week for my motorcycle.
