Re: Tyre pressures

Hi Kev,
I run 18psi front and 20psi rear. It took me a while to experiment from fairly high, 24psi all round and low, 14psi upwards. My figures of 18/20 seem to give my car the best compromise. The tyres are Vredensteins 205/70 16. Handling is superb but it is possible to lock up the wheels under extreme braking despite the lowish pressures.

I hope this helps.

Re: Tyre pressures

Hi Kevin,
If your tyres are wearing on both edges, inner and outer edges on the same tyre, then your tyre pressures are TOO low. The opposite happens if you overinflate, all wear in the centre region because the tyre "balloonns.
