What Tyre Pressure ?

Post by CMO16V » Thu Aug 07, 2014 2:00 pm

Hi,
Just bought some 19's and will be running 225/35 front and 255/35 back, has anyone got any recommendations on what tyre pressure to start with ?

Many thanks,
Craig.

I use the standard pressure on my 19's with those sized tyres. Seems to be fine, although the ride is not the smoothest.

They've been as low as 28psi and the ride felt very crashy. Noticed a massive improvement when filling them up to 33 front and 36 rear.

I run with 34 rear and 32 front have played about between 32 and 36 but find my present pressures offer me the best ride and grip.

I run F33 and R37 on 19s, although my rears are 265.
