Tyre pressures

(1/2) > >>

72C3:
My 72 has Goodyear eagles, 245/65/15's (I think) on it.  What is the recommened pressure for these tyres.  The tyre placard does not cater to these types of tyres.

anychevy:
I would put at least 30-35psi all round, depending on driving style and comfort.

77CVT:
 :agree:

I think the factory recommended pressure would be around 28psi.  Pretty much all manufacturers recommended pressures 5-8 psi below optimum efficiency / performance due to comfort.

I run at least 30-35 on a C3 depending on the age of the tyre.  I wouldn't put a lot of pressure in an 8 year old tyre.  If they are new just go by the max pressure on the sidewall.

72C3:
Heres the issue.  Just importd the car, tyres look brand new but the date stamp says they were made in 98.  Rubber is hard as a rock and I am not game to take it anywhere where it is going to rain .

77CVT:
Like 90% of C3's out there!   :wink:  (including mine!)

I'd put 30 psi in....and don't drive it in the rain. 

 :cheers:
