Mini one 2002, tyre pressure help needed

[Miss Random]

I've always put about 30 in all the tyres of my mini, and it's been fine......... a few weeks ago the tyre pressure light came on. They looked a bit low at the front so went to the garage and put some air in. Light still on! So went back to the garage and checked in the door for the correct pressure....... it says 21 at the front and 24 for the back. So I let out the correct amount of air........... Light still on................ So went to different garage to check the air. ... it confirmed the air pressure of 21 and 24. They look a little low to me, the light is still on and I'm getting worried. Looking on this site I've discovered I might have these runflat tyres. Can anyone offer me some advice? please

If your tyre pressures are correct its the warning light system thats at fault. Your local Mini/BMW dealership can probably reset it (at a price)!!!

Tyre pressures quoted as F-21 and R-24 are in fact 2.1 and 2.4 bar, which in English is: F-30psi and R-35psi, that's why your light is on.

there is a button under the handbrake handle, turn the ignition off and on but not the engine and hold the button in for 10 seconds. this should reset the tyre pressure system.

Hi, saw this question on here so it seems better to ask than start a new post.

I've got a mini myself and the tyre pressure has also been confusing me. What's the best bar/PSI? I know 21/24 is recommended, but I'm looking to get some decent comfort and a smooth ride.

I think it depends entirely on what model Mini, as well as the year, engine size and other factors.

In short, this shouldn't be hard to look for online. You can try here:

Or, if it's a rather new model, would the mini website itself have the information you're after?
