Winter storage tyre pressures.

Post by baconJazz » Tue Oct 15, 2019 1:31 pm

Hi all.

Putting the e86 away for 3 months and I've read that some people put extra pressure in the tyres while their vehicle is in storage .
That said , I'm on an OEM set up for driving and I'd like to know what a safe and effective PSI would be for storage purposes. :driving:

There should be a marking on the tire with maximum allowed inflation pressure. I will fill up to that pressure when I store the car for the winter.
