   do you mean the profile of the tire e.g. 185/50/14? or pressure you need to inflate them to i.e 34psi?
   Ohhhh i get you. you need to inflate them to 34psi iirc

   tyre air pressure is probably between 29 and 31 psi
   As for tyre tread depth it should be a minimum of 1.6mm

   I think you have listed your tyre size mistakenly. Front ranges from 32 to 36 psi and rear from 30 to 32 psi depending on the model. None standard wheel sizes require different pressures. I don't know what the Furio is listed at but you would not go wrong with 32psi in the front and 30psi in the rear assuming you have relatively normal size wheels.

   You have DEFINATELY listed the wheel size wrongly.. the first number is fine as that is the width of the tire, second number is fine as that is the percentage of the width against your actual sidewall but the 3rd number at 60?! that means your wheels are 60 inches haha, are you sure it isn't 16?

    haha, thats fine, just run them at standard pressure.. not sure what yours would be but generally anything from 30 to 35 psi is about right

    yeah too much is like TOO much as in 20psi too much.
    them little petrol station inflators arent accurate at all anyway just a ballpark figure.. and because you are meant to always inflate your tires when they are cold, by the time you have drove to the petrol station you have warm tires, so the gauge will not be very accurate anyway
