Tyre Pressure Question

Hi gang.

I'm running 245x60x15 Yokohama tyres on Priscilla.  What pressure should I run in them? ;42

A great question Cam, one of my favourites, been askin' it all my short life long. And I reckon tyre pressure will get ya every time.
AND HERE IS MY BARKIN 2 CENTS;50
Round town, tyre pressure aint an issue. Include 120k/h stretchers(?) here. Unless ya bad with tyre pressure maintenance or over inflating (see owners manual), or crap tyres, most tyres are good.
I love a lil' maintenance, an as long ya steerin' geom is good, roun town, tyres will love life. an rotate;45
But if ya wanna have real time idle chit chat bout tyre pressure, talk to the guys in our club who race cars. What i mean is, if you want to go fast. And don't we love that. No matter how fast we think we are goin down the road, our favourite twistys, getin squirrilly outer corners and plantin it and hookin up(LSD will do that every time). I am sorry, on the street we are slow, blasting down a country road, we are slow. Well do a drivin course then head down your favourite road ( tear up your license here).
Here again on my high (higher an a kite) horse. No matter how fast you think you are, you know nuthin unless you have appreciated what others can teach you at a race track.
Love these Corvettes,
the original drunkin bum:luv

Cameron 77C3:
Yeah....... but what tyre pressure?;39;39;39

What I don't want to happen is for me to over inflate and wear them out in the middle.  Obviously underinflate and I'll get a softer ride but handle like cr*p in the wet.

So I suppose I'm after a guide more than anything.

It has been a LOOOONG time since I've had wide rubber.

35 to 38 pounds should be about correct.;42
