Tyre presures! Geez I can't believe this. I have a VT crapoladore and the front tyres are scrubbing and feathering a bit due to driving through the hills all the time and the rears a scrubbing due to the independant rear end. I thought I'd over inflate them a little - 44 psi to see if I can get them to wear a bit in the middle of the tyre. I haven't noticed much as yet because I've only traveled 1000-1200k's since the inflate but what I have noticed is my fuel eccononomy has dropped. I never have taken to much notice but last tank I had done 700 and something and only put it 62l and today I filled and worked out the mileage and 8.59l/100k. I'm happy to get below 10/100 which I always achieve but since the tyres running at 44psi to save 1l/100 is unbelievable. (no fitch fitted)
