Tyre Pressure

[peter182]

Wot should my tyre pressure be i have 205/40/17s on my valver?

 

[Bryan]

exactly the same as they would be when you had 15s on

 

[BRUN]

yea thats true, you *might* want to run it slightly higher, but thats only because the tyre wall is so thin you might want to protect your wheels from pot holes.........otherwise.......the same or whatever feels best to you

 

[peter182]

so wot pressure then?

 

[BRUN]

well i run 36F/34R

but thats how i like it, give it a try an if its too hard for you let a bit out

 

[Daz]

I run 34 all round.

 

[peter182]

I used to run 34 on my valver 195/50/15 but the wear on tyres is more in the middle hence over inflation. Id try 33 or 32. It does point and shoot well on 34 but probably grips better at 32 (more tyre in contact patch etc)

Used to run 32f/31r on the exs 185/55/15s. Felt good to me, not too soft and not too hard. But personal preference comes into the equation somewhere!
