Tire pressure

[ice]

After looking around the car, in the manual and all over these websites, I have no idea how much air to put in my 17" runflat performance tires that came with my MCS. If this is elsewhere I apologize. Can anyone help me?

I've got a sticker indicating tire pressures inside the driver side door (near the lock).

You are luckier than I for I have no such sticker.

[GooF]

sorry.
just take a look at mine then (although it's on a cooper):

Thanks! What the hell does it mean? I have never seen anything like that before. Little people, 2,3? I am American. We need pounds per square inch of pressure(PSI).

For those without calculators:
2.1 bar ~= 30.5 PSI
2.3 bar ~= 33 PSI
2.4 bar ~= 35 PSI
2.6 bar ~= 38 PSI
4.2 bar ~= 61 PSI

The rows with 2 people mean use that pressure for a light load while the rows with 4 people plus a suitcase mean use that pressure for a heavy load.

Note the column on the right is for all M+S (all-season or snow) tires while the column on the left is for performance summer tires.

a little isolated are you?

well here goes:
2.1 bar = 31.5 psi
2.4 bar = 36 psi (yes, 1 bar=15 psi)

I guess the symbols do not indicate the combination of male and female but just the load you carry.
If you tend to use the MINI as a SUV (stuff it with people and luggage) use 36 psi, otherwise use 31.5 psi.

Thanks.

As you can see, the MINI is a co-ed only vehicle
