Correct tyre pressure

Hi all

Next week I will be running my car near the MAM. I have checked the sticker and it is saying 60psi for the tyres.

Should I still pump to this even though I am running 275/45/r21. I cant find a max psi on the sidewall 05 V8 HSE Bonatti Grey

60psi? Wow!
I run 19's Front 35PSI, rear 40PSI
on the door it says 33PSI front, rear 42PSI (seems to be for towing)

60 sounds way too high.

I’m not sure about a D3, but my 19” setup on my D4 says I think 36/42 fully loaded. It has the different scenarios on a sticker on the inside of the drivers door. If not, check the maunal.

The pressure you are looking at is for the spare/space saver tyre, denotes by the letter 'T' before the width....
"The letter T before a tyre code means that the tyre was only designed as a temporary spare and that it should only be used until a flat tyre can be replaced or fixed."
Do NOT run your tyres at 60psi normally!
Hope this helps!

Pic res improved, as if by magic. Whistle

60 is for the space saver. Thumbs Up
