We have an MX5 and need to know the correct tyre pressures. Can anyone help
us?

My import has a sticker on the drivers door edge saying 26 p.s.i. for all 4
tyres. Thats stock standard, with the original tyres. Many people run
different pressures, but I find it to be fine.

When I had Bridgestone GIII tyres fitted recently, the installer added a
sticker to the door stating 32 p.s.i. The Japanese door sticker receomended 26
as Michael said. I am running mine at 32 and am happy with that. Ride is good,
no squealing tyres and feels stable. No sign of uneven wear yet but it is
early days still. Only done about 5000km on them so far.

Hi Peter,

Mine is a NZ new 99 and the owners manual shows 26psi F & R. Cheers

Despite what the manual says it would seem that most who have
researched this run theirs at or above 30psi.
