What tyre pressure do you guys tend to have on your Cerb? I know the manual says 22 front and 24 rear for normal driving, but just wondered if anyone knew better.

I read on here many moons ago a recommendation from Joolz to have 26 all round so I've stuck with that.

There's nothing wrong with high tyre pressure it's better to be high than low.

Any difference if your running 16's/18's ?

I've always stuck with the book figures & the rears on our car have worn PERFECTLY ! (the same can't be said for the fronts, which always destroy the inner edge)

What like this? http://photos.fotango.com/p/eba00410543f00000001.jpg

This happened because the chaps car's front wheels were pointing outwards like ducks feet.

Had a set of 16's that scrubbed the inner edges on the front, turned out the camber was miles out, and the tracking was toeing in!!!

Seem to remember Joolz saying that the camber alters as the springs sag over time.

Had it all set up about 3 months ago, and all is now fine.

Also running at 26psi all round, seems to be OK at that.

Yep !

Got a "used" pair from a friend who had upgraded to RL7's, but have only done about 3000 miles on them - am going to get the dealer/indi to check tracking & camber when it finally makes it back on the road....

running 28psi all round on 18 inch wheels is perfect
