South Africa's most affordable mobility solution, the Renault Kwid, is still proving to be a favorite choice among SA motorists. It has simple styling and such easy maintenance that drivers can do it themselves. We take a look at the manufacturer-recommended tyre pressures so that you can re-inflate yourself at the local petrol station.
Kwid Tyre Pressures
Renault filled a big gap in the market when it came to affordable mobility by introducing the diminutive Kwid, a crossover-styled entry-level people mover. The Kwid was and still is one of the French brand’s bestsellers, offering stylish transportation at a keen price.
Sporting small 14″ tyres to keep ownership costs down, the Kwid remains a strong choice for SA consumers. If you should find that one of the lyres is flat you can re-inflate at your local garage, but what should the pressure be?
Pump it up
The recommended tyre air pressure for Renault Kwid is 30-32 PSI. This info can be found in the owner’s manual or on the info card inside the driver’s side door jamb. If the wheel will not hold pressure you may need to put on the spare and take the flat wheel to a tyre shop. You can see how to remove the wheel here
Pull-away is surprisingly smooth, and appears to generally match the driver’s mood, with a gentle take-off if the throttle is applied gradually, and a rather abrupt launch if the driver stands on the accelerator pedal. AutoTraderSA
