    Replaced the Bridgestone Turanza 195/55/16 ER30s on my car with Nexen 205/50/16s. The Nexens are slightly wider. What would be the best pressure for them? Currently I'm running them 265kPa in front, 255kPa in the back.

    In this map always take the newest version and there are examples.
    From car you need 1. maximum axle-loads front and rear
    2: maximum speed of car
    3: the advices from the stikker somewhere on or in the car, that are meanth for the specific car.
    4: if above 2 degrees- the camber-angle front and rear.

    From the tire:
    1: the maximum load of tire ( in KG, LBS on tire side-wall or Load-index.
    2 The reference pressure of the tire, this is not the maximum pressure and mostly depends on the kind of tire. When you see "at xxx PSI or kPa "on the tire-side-wall , then this is always the reference pressure.
    3 the letter that stands for the maximum speed of the tire.
