Hi,
I want to get a better understanding of the spec of my wheels/tyres and how that relates to tyre pressures. I've attached a photo of my placard, but have some specific questions.
I have 225/40 R18 wheels (Sport suspension), I can see those listed on the placard, but what do the letters after that refer to? E.g. "92Y XL" or "92V XL M+S"?
I assume the rows in each section refer to the load/weight of the vehicle? E.g 3 persons/1 bag, or 5 person/3 bags. Etc. But what does the book icon with the "i" on it indicate?
At the bottom, there are two lines reading "T 125/70 R16" and "T 125/70 R18" with another recommended pressure setting? What is this referring to?
Given that normally there are 2/3 of us in the car, with little/medium luggage, I assume I should be aiming for the top row of the placard? E.g. Front 36psi, back 33psi.
Any help with these questions really appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy.
