New Michelin PS3'S

[Deerhound]

Hi all,
I've just treated my RB182 to a full set of 4 new Michelin PS3's.
The tyre place put 37 psi in the fronts & 33 psi in the backs.
I think this is way too high.
I usually put 33 psi in the fronts & 30 psi in the backs.
What pressures do you guys put in?
The tyres are 205/45 x 16.

Cheers

If you were running the recommended 195/45r16 I would agree with 33/30,but as you have raised the profile,37/33 is an educated guess to counter flex in the taller sidewalls.
Probably best to experiment and go with what feels right.

@STEVE.M i don't think 195 is recommended on the 182 alloys??

Cheers Dann! Had 33 30 in the previous tyres Rainsport 2's but these tyres feel WAY better tyres!
Not knocking the Rainsport 2's though!

205/45/16 is Correct for the 182 alloys

There is a motorway pressure for the 172 cup which is 39/32 for 195/45/16. Standard is 33/30. As far as I knew the standard pressure for the 182 was the same.

No need to post in them. The info is already there.
