How do I find my peugeot car tyre pressure? translating it from the french system to UK system???

The handbook for my peugeot 1007 indicates that the tyre pressure should be "2,6"


The machine at the garage here in the uk can be set between 21 and 40.





It's obviously a translation thing between the french system and the british system but i dont know how to do it?|||2.6 bar is 38 psi (well, 37.7 to be precise). Buy and use your own pressure gauge, those at filling stations can be inaccurate due to the rough handling they get.





1 bar = 14.5 psi|||go online or contact a peugeot dealership and find out.|||If all else fails put 30 all round you wont be far away.Do it when the tyres are cold though as the air expands after travelling distances|||Some garages have a chart showing the different pressures for certain cars or you could nip to Halfords and have a look in the UK version of the Haines manual for your car.





Or you could try this conversion website





http://www.sensorsone.co.uk/pressure-uni鈥?/a>|||the pressure is writtin on the side of the tire that is what it should be a guess 32psi... just buy a tire guage that is callibrated in pounds per square inch...but if the tire looks flat dont go by that a radial appears that way when correctly inflated.. and do not adjust the amount of air until the tire is completly cold.. then take a reading put air in or take some out.. ok gilermo.|||Its just an Imperial / Metric conversion 2.6 refers to "Bars" (metric)


1 "bar" = aprox 15 pounds square inch Psi (Imperial) as in 21-40 Psi of garage machine. therefore 15 x 2.6=39 Psi though this sounds a bit high to me. Maths are not my strong point! phone dealer. Always inflate tyres when cold, as the air in the tyre expands when hot increasing the tyre pressure.


Beware garage air inflation machines are RARELY accurate could be out by a few Psi best obtain tyre pressure gauge from Halfords.|||The continental system is in BARS (1 bar = 14psi, 1 bar being 1 atmosphere)


2 Bar would be 28psi.





2.6 bar would be about 36psi.





All this is dependant on whatever size tyres are fitted|||35 pounds here in the states... for most all car tires... why not stop in one of the local auto parts store and get a air gauge|||roughly 15 psi to every bar.|||On Peugeots there's a sticker on the driver's door about half way down, near the catch. It should have an English translation, ie lbs/sq.in.
