I have a Corsa A 1.3i with 185/60/14 wheels. What is the right tire pressure? In general, the pressure is higher for wider tires, i assume.

the pressure should be the same no matter what wheels you have, look in the owners manual.

Your tyre pressure should be about 29psi - 30psi. However it really depends on your suspension. If the car is lowered a lot put the pressure down to about 26psi which will help soften the ride.

standard tyre pressure for the corsa according to most tyre places, main dealer and owners manual, no matter how big or small your wheel size is or tyre size, is 32psi, and it varies between 29 and 33 with different places, but go in between and you'll be fine. 30-32 is a safe bet.

it varies bepending on what engine you have, what sort of driving you do ( motorway, fully laden etc...)
and this car is a corsa A/ nova anyway, its not a corsa b.
mate, just stick to what it says in the drivers manual for your specific car and type of driving.
