Hello and enjoy the madhouse, more information is required. What planet are you on? :wink: If you use 35psi on certain planets you will float away. :shock:

They should be on a plate on the passenger door frame.

The above info only applies if you have the standard Mazda wheels and tyres fitted by the manufacturer.
If you have had fancy alloys, bigger wheels, wider tyres, etc fitted, then the information will change.

42psi? Is that right?

In the Bongo Clinic Archives it states 'A: 32 on the front, 34 at the rear. And if you are towing a caravan, 36 front and 40 rear.'

I've been running mine at 32 and 34. Can't check the passenger door frame as it's parked up against the house...

Having read this previously from Dandy, and because the teeering felt over-light and sensitive to crosswind when towing a trailer and carrying 3 bikes, I've reduced my fronts from 40psi to 35 psi. My rears are still at 40psi for now. I'm on 15" wheels with (I think) 205s all round. 8)

i am running what says on my door sill label which is something like 1.8 bar which is 26psi or thereabouts. My wheels are all stanard 15" and the tyres are per manufacturing recommendations.
