Tyre pressures for a FRP

[tuonokid]

As the title, does anyone know the tyre pressures for a FRP?
Thanks in anticipation

To cut long story short: 2.0 bar front and rear

Cheers Sinisa I don't know why Ford chose to show the pressures in such a small typeface, I didn't notice them at first????????

Without looking at all the above info, I think mine ran 28psi :grin:

Just looked up 2 bar.. 29psi.. I was close!

Sorry I posted pressure in bar, I am metric all the way
I find very difficuilt, or better say impossible, to use your imperial units as they are not logical at all. Metric system is very easy and logical for use and we use it since birth...
I do know that 12 inches makes 1 foot, 3 feet make one yard but where is logic in that?!
instead, 10 mms makes 1 cm, 10 cm make 1 dm, 10 dm make 1 meter.... We do have 10 fingers and use nunbering system with the base of 10 so it makes sense to do it like this; you are based on dozens (12) and I believe it dates back to Sumerians but is so confusing unless you have grown with that system....

Hi Sinisa
When I was working as a civil engineer I had to work in both as you would design in Metric and a lot of materials would be in Imperial so it's ok for me. I think the worst though is Imp temp as that makes no sense at all.

PS You don't know the worst of our length measures, chains and furlongs :grin:

I use both :grin:

We mainly have to know both because we are half metric, with our currency, fuel delivery, some drink measurements and food weights. But some do not confirm, like most people still weigh themselves in imperial stones and ounzes or order 'a pint' of milk or beer which equates to 568ml not 500ml (I guess we don't like being short changed on our beer mainly). Distance when travelling is in miles and yards.. even though fuel is in litres (I'm sure they changed it like this so it didn't sound so bad on cost when it got to like £5 per gallon) :roll:

Metric makes much more sense

Indeed I don't. What, the h...l are those?!

Also we don't tend to use a dm here, mm,cm,m is normal.

Hi Sinisa
A chain is 22 yards (the length between the stumps in cricket) and a furlong is 10 chains or 220 yards so we have...
1 inch x12 = 1 foot x3 = 1yard x22 =1 chain x10 = 1 furlong x8 =1 mile, easy really

And so down the drain goes my thesis that your measures are more or less based on 12....

What is the story regarding the weight and volume?

I still prefer a pint me self !!
