i pumped all the tyres to 50 psi .is that ok.as they looked a bit flat

50 PSI you are kidding me!?

You are asking for an accident! Deflate the tyres immediately

Tyres should be inflated to no more than 32 PSI all around!

Standard setting is 30 Front 28 Rear

For reference in future, check inside the fuel filler cap as its in there.

not kidding im a noob when it comes to cars.my tyres looked flat so i drove to the esso and pumped em up. so how do i deflate them to the correct pressure ,plus the filler cap dont say the pressure

will it be safe for me to drive it back to the petrol station to try to deflate them cheers. petrol station is 2 miles away

Its in the manual too for a backup

Just drive carefully - no fast corners or potholes, as the tyre could be damaged, or explode.

When you get to the pump, theres generally a button on the pump end that lets air out. If there isnt, just get a pen and push the inside brass pin in the valve in for a few moments and let the air come out, then pump them back up to 30 front and 28 rear then all should be good.

thanks bro appreciate the help

Please do not take this the wrong way.

But if you want to do anything else to your car, IE check the oil, fill up the washer fluid etc.... Get someone with some common sence to help you... atleast for the first time through.... we all have to learn from somewhere... But you DO NOT want to learn the hard way.... Its not worth risking your safety and the safety of other road users unless you are confident you know what your doing.

(there was a chap on here some time ago that tried to top up his oil through the clutch breather vent and ended up with a very slippery clutch that had to be replaced at great expense!)

Ive always run 34 front and 32 rear on mine.Either way ive never had any tyre wear issues or problems.
