Tyre Pressures
Discussion
I currently have 245/45 x 16 and 225/45 x 16 Toyo Proxes T1R fitted to my 500 with PAS. The previous owner had changed from 15" to 16" fronts to improve tyre choice.
The handbook recommends 22psi front, 24psi rear which is what I have been using of late. On buying the car, I found that they were set much softer - say 18 and 20 respectively.
Personally, I found the softer setting better but was concerned about abnormal tyre wear hence the change to the recommended figures.
Do wonder whether I should set the fronts softer as presumably the 22 psi figure is for the "standard" 225/50 x 15s "normally" fitted to 500s with PAS.
Any comments/advice much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
