Title: Fiat Scudo 08 Plate what tyre pressures?
Post by: benny d on February 07, 2013, 01:24:49 pm

Hi ,
I bought a 08 plate FIAT Scudo 1.6.
It carries 2 portys, hoses, some chemicals bits a bobs etc.
When I bought it there wasnt a manual.

I have asked around about tyre pressures but had different opinions.
Im thinking 45 psi front and about 50psi for rear?
Does anyone have the same van or similar Peugeot Citroen have an answer please?
Thanks

 i always put 40 psi on all. it will say on the tyres what psi they go too but 40 should be fine.

Used to have the Expert 1.9 and I used to have 38 front & 40 rear ......... carrying porty, hoses, wands, vacuum, solutions & rotary most of the time.  ;D

I run mine at 40 all round--  I can never remember whether the 38 is at the front or back. ;D

Ah... the good old days when you could advertise anything without the nanny state telling you not to smoke, not to eat fatty foods and to drink responsibly ........... funny how I don't remember scores of obese people walking the streets back then  ::)roll

Pump them up harder - saves fuel.

Any cyclists on here will know how much energy high tyre pressure saves.

put 50 all round.

What size tyres are on your Scudo?  2008 Scudo should have 215/60/16 tyres with tyre pressures off 44psi front - 44 psi rear (unladen) or 48psi front - 49psi rear (laden)
