Hi all

Could anyone tell me the best tyre pressure for my 1970 Challenger R/T? Original 383 engine and 727 Torquefilte auto box.

It's on the stock 15" Rallye wheels (2944390) and has Firestone Firehawk tyres (SS20 235/60/R15 98S).

This is just for regular cruising, not for the strip etc.

Cheers!

Thanks for the info folks. I do have pics but don't have a photo sharing account (like photobucket) so I can't upload just now. It's pretty stock. Plum Crazy with white vinyl interior. Low miles per gallon but high smiles per mile!

Correct tyre pressures for that are 32psi front and rear, not as others have stated.

Edit: Incidentally, those tyre you are using will upset the handling (term used loosely!) a little.

Thanks for that info. Yes, handling is a relative term for these cars. But if I can improve it, I would do.

Most of the muscle cars I see tend to have BFGoodrich Radial T/A tyres. Do you think this would be a better tyre? Cheers.
