Tyre pressure for standard 2001 S8
I've looked in the book, I've looked inside the petrol filler flap (no stickers
 ) I've even tried the 'Use the SEARCH Luke' function on the forum...I've looked on the net with the reg number and I get various tyre pressures as well as various tyre sizes!! What should I be running on my stock 245/45/18s? Thanks MG Last edited by SyncroS8; 30th April 2012 at 02:38 PM.

Yes, all round. That's for 245/45/18 Avus wheels on a PF S8.
Though when I went to Le Mans, seriously overloaded with big blokes and camping gear, I only put 42 in the rears and about 36 in the fronts.

Ok that's great thanks.
I'm surprised that they suggest putting all 4 tyres up to 42psi when fully loaded! Most of the websites were suggesting that I should be running 245/40/18s... I was starting to wonder if I was going mad! Have just put my summer tyres on  MG
