Tyre pressures

hi goona,i run on 36psi it just feels comfy the blokes at the tyre shop put in 40psi when first put the tyres on but it felt a bit hard so i dropped them down to 36 psi and it feels good,mind you i have a hard spring on the front and medium on the rear when i lifted the car up 4" with polyair in the rear. cheers

Goona,
I run 38 psi in my Nissan 92 GQ wagon with 31 X 10.5 X 15's. works for me. Keep the shiny side up

check the tyre placard, if the tyre is bigger than std it should run a lower pressure. LC 100 runs 29 - 32 on 275/70/16 so bigger should be lower. get a vernier caliper, check the tyre wear from either side to the middle

cheers jol

gday goona.
we normaly put 34-36psi in the 285/75/16 depending on what acc you have fitted ect.
and 32 in 31/10.5/15. and dont seem to have to many probs when customers come back for rotation ect.—~‘¬‘¥•s’B

Makes not 1 iota difference round town or h/way use,, the correct pressure is a difference of 4psi between cold and hot,,,look up the archives for details.

I run 36-38 around the town, it puts less strain on the steering with all that sharp turning at slow speed or stand still. A good thing to look for is premature featering of the tread or rounding of both shoulders (inner and outer). This generally tells you that the tyre is rolling on to the edges too far as it turns and this can often be alleviated by more pressure. No matter where you are there is no hard and fast rule for pressures. It is governed by the terrain you are driving on and also the habits of the driver ( load,speed, hard cornering etc).
