Tyre pressure poll

[Blobby]

I was running 38 on my 205/70x14, but the middles were wearing big time, so now I've dropped to 28 to try and wear the edges, to be honest I haven't noticed any difference in handling, but then 205/70 are more like tractor tyres anyway

36psi on 17"s never had any problems

my method is to check the first tyre then make all the others the same so they are matched...currently running 6psi.....ok i made that up, i dont know what i'm running, i'll check then vote

37 psi up front and 33 psi at the back

finally got round to checkimg them. i was running 2.3 bar which i think is about 34 but know i'm trying 2.5 bar which i think is about 38. or close anyway

I've found with just about every car I've had, running at the listed pressures results in a tyre which is bald on the edges with plenty of life left in the middle, which can't be used because its below the minimum on more then 25% of the width. (Tyres must have more than 1.6mm of tread on the central 75%).

I tend to check the wear on mine periodically and then stick a couple of extra PSI in if it seems to be wearing on on the edges and let a bit out if the middle is starting to go a bit quicker.

In theory at least this should give optimum wear with an optimum footprint.

(Just changed the fronts, pair of budget 185R14 (102/100)T 's which have lasted about 20,000 miles).
