Tyre Pressure Question

<< < (3/3)

69VETTE:
Hey Cam,

I run 36psi to both front and rear tyres and she drives beautifully.

And even handles great and not too bumps given the gas shocks.

hi Cam
I run as low as 26lbs when i am going from sydney to melbourne
and I run 30lbs around town
Tyre pressure results are
Too much tyre pressure wears out in the centre of the tyre first
Too little and tyre pressure and it will wear on outer edges first
Make sure you don't confuse tyre scrubbing caused by incorrect wheel alignmant to tyre pressure
It is always recommend that you consult the tyre manufacture for tyre pressures letting them know of the type of vehicle and the vehicles mass weight.;42

For a previous thread on tyre pressures - Click here.

All tyres can safely handle more pressure than what is on the sidewall.  For track racing organisers will ALWAYS tell you to run at least 40psi.  This is mostly due to people not knowing what pressure is in their tyres and to avoid the tyre rolling off the rims in hard cornering (can happen esp with C3's high sidewall).

I always run a min of 32psi.
