Esprit Tyre Pressure
Make sure your running on the right amount of air!The pressure in your tyres is very important, especially for a supercar capable of high speeds. For your own safety you should really check your tyre pressure regularly to make sure you've not got a slow punchure or leaky valves. Having the correct tyre pressure will make sure your tyres perform as they should and the Esprit will handle as it was design.
All pressures are from cold. DO NOT check and adjust tyre pressures on a warm or hot tyre.
Here's the correct pressure for different tyre sizes.
