Question runflat tyre pressures

Hi All

I've done a search but can't see what I am looking for. Can anyone tell me what the correct tyre pressure is for Eurofori@ runflats. I had them at 2.3 bar (34psi) and I have been skating all over the road. I've taken them down to 2.2 bar (32psi) but what is the correct pressure? i have a lot of driving over the next couple of weeks and want to try and get it right

many thanks

I've been running my OEM Run flats at about 42 PSI. The Good Years I have say 55 PSI Max cold. So I figured that tires tend to gain about 10 PSI when driving them. So 42 PSI would be a nice good number if you like a STIFF RIDE. If you want a smoother ride then go with about 32 - 35 PSI. OF COURSE it all depends on what tires you have AND check the tire it self for the Tire Pressure. In tires that take more than 35PSI always guess about 5-10 psi LOWER than max. Use your discretion.

Your owners manual should contain recommended tire pressures.

US cars also have tire pressures listed on the driverside door jam.

42 PSI is way too high

Correct PSI for MCS Eufori@ Run Flats is 2.3 or 2.6 Bar depending on the load of the vehicle.

There is a very interesting brochure from Pirelli on the Eufori@s which could be downloaded from :

pirelli's site , go country UK and click on the run flats where there is a PDF with all the specs.

After reading it youŽll also realize something not to many people knows about run flats and it is that after running them flat they must be replaced, yes you read it well REPLACED... Hope this covers your question.
