Tyre Pressure Question

[Darren555]

I have just replaced the Dunlop Sports with Vredestein Sportrac 2 195/50 R15 tyres.

Grip has improved immensely but I have noticed that the car wobbles on its axis coming out of bends or when you lift off the throttle. The back end moves from side to side before settling. I reckon the Vredesteins have a softer side wall which is causing this. I have set the tyre pressure to what it says in the handbook ie 2.3 front & 2.1 back.

Anyone have any recommendations as to tyre pressures to correct this?

Do you have them as well then? The garage swore they were better than Eagle F1s. Had both in stock but the Eagles were a bit more expensive.

As far as I know. It was serviced & MOTed a month ago & I guess they would have picked up on that. It was fine on the Dunlop Sports as well. It just didnt grip in the wet.
