I checked mine the other day, 34 both front and rear (tyres were well warm) does the pressures you mention apply to cold tyres (as per handbook)

Cheers

What about 215 40ZR 17's anyone, ive always ran them at 30 ps on all 4 corners but get a slight vibration over 90 mph, its not the tracking or balance as i had it done this morning and it still remains?

i think that tyres should be checked cold, it makes a lot of sence when u think about it. there are varying degrees of warm

warm
slightly warmer
toastie

each temp will give a different reading

so does anyone know what they should be when cold?

All tyre pressures should be taken from cold.

As the tyre heats up there is more pressure in there, which will give you false readings, never assume a warm tyre pressure is correct, can make a few lbs difference to the pressure with every few degrees of heat.

Thumbs up

Sorry Steve

what don't you understand


28 FRONT

33 REAR

AS RECOMENDED BY TSL MOTORSPORT
IF YOU WANT TO MEASURE WHEN COLD THEN FINE BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THE PRESSURES MENTIONED ABOVE ARE WRONG

Whats the temp of your tyres when u check em? TBMeech is right temp can have a big effect on the reading...

(lets keep this light hearted )

Steve

I spent the whole day at TSL having my eibachs and geometry done and tested

Lynsey(spelling) then supplied me a complete report together with the recomended tyre pressures that are recomended

as I said I tend to measure mine when warm so perhaps I am wrong in that respect

And that is my final word on the subject
