    new boots

    The tyres on the car were getting little low in tread,between 2-4mm left.
    So I thought it would be a good idea to get some new boots.

    Just went and checked the pressures that the guys put in them.. 50psi all round . bloody hell.. way to much.

    Whats the consensus on pressures fr and bk. Am thinking 36 fr and 38 bk.

    Live semi rural,so will be those pressures be ok or a little more.

    Thanks

    cheers

    depends on the tyre. I find the Michis like it a bit higher 42-44, I'm not sure what the duelers like.

    I run 40 in the front and 42 at the back, but that is on 20"'road tyres. Find I get a better wear pattern with a few more PSI in them.

    Why not use the 4psi rule to work out what pressures suit your vehicle, your load, your road conditions and your driving style?

    I dropped them down to 37 front 40 rear. Much better ride now,not as harsh..
    Will try that for a couple of weeks and might try 40 fr 44 rear and see how I go with that.

    Thanks guys

    cheers

    I have 265 x 18's Continental "road " tyres; very good handling and ride on road; OK in wet black soil; never slipped at all in snow/ice! that was surprising.
    Usual running is just me and 100-150kg junk in back: 36-38psi f & R
    Heavier loads/holidays-- 3-4 adults, full to brim luggage: 38 fr and 42 back

    Tyres seem to be wearing evenly across the tread

    19 inch wheels on ours with Pirelli tyres. I run at 40 psi all 'round. Wear seems to be even.
