Correct Tyre Pressure Vectra?

pennypincher3562

I have recently had a new front tyre fitted, and found it was inflated by the installer to 35 psi. This seems too high for this type of car, plus it was considerably higher than the other front tyre.

I get confused by all the model variations, but I reckon the pressures for my car should be 29 psi on the front, and 32 psi on the rear. It's a Vectra C 1.8 Exclusiv.

Could someone confirm please? Thanks.

Have you looked on the label that is usually on or around the driver's door sill or pillar?

Also in the car handbook which you can download for free if you don't have a copy. As there were many different wheel and tyre combinations fitted to the Vectra and two different series, how can any one here know the correct answer. Have you forgotten since your last yearly safety checks?

it will depend on the tryre size fitted to your car and the way the car is loaded one passenger no luggage should be a lower pressure than a car with four passengers and luggage

as above look at the drivers door pillar for pressures and adjust accordingly, many tyre fitters just put 32-35 psi in everything as the cant be bothered to check the correct pressures

I would assume from he fact that you do not know what your tyres take you very rarely check the pressures are correct, mine are 30psi all around for normal loading

Yes, I have, but I get confused by the multiple Vectra models. Mine is supposedly an 'Exclusiv' but their is no mention of an Exclusiv in the Vectra tyre chart.

I appreciate that this might seem like a daft question, but I was hoping that there would be a standard tyre pressure for all Vectra 1.8 cc's.

Anyway, I'll try some of the other ideas suggested above to narrow things down.

If the tyres match this should be right.
