I recently took delivery of a new model Alto, an SZ3, and after the first 1000 miles decided to check the tyre pressures. Now according to the handbook and the plate, they are supposed to be 39 psi at the front and 36 psi at the rear.
Imagine my surprise to find that they were nowhere near this but 30 at front and 27 at rear. I've obviously pumped them up to the correct settings but I wonder why this was? Is this some kind of delivery pressure that wasn't corrected? I thought that I was using more fuel than advertised and that the steering seemed heavy. Now I know why!
Apart from that I'm very pleased with the car and it's a huge improvement over the previous model.
