Nissan Sylvia 1985 tyre pressures - Thommo
I own a Nissan Sylvia auto coupe (1985). I do not have a handbook for it.

All I need is the recommended tyre pressures but can not find them anywhere. I have even traced and downloaded a scanned copy of the original Nissan technical manual but it does not list tyre pressures! I know the torque settings for every nut on the car but not the **** tyre pressures!

Can anyone help me?

Well, according to my extensive library of Nissan technical data it should be as follows:

6x15 wheel rim. 195/60R15V tyre at 29psi, front and rear.

Take care - some of those are *definitely* wrong - I'm looking at the Nissan ones and comparing with my factory manuals.

Does the car not have a tyre pressure sticker on the inner door pillar (usually passenger side) or in glove box? Thats where they usually are.

29/29 seems definitive and perhaps more importantly seems fine on the car.

Thanks all.
