Tyre pressures

[Bignige]

Apols for such a dumb thread...I don't have my manual with me.

Need tyre pressures for 04 CV8 Monaro.

cheers

From memory they are in the Drivers Door frame? or under the bonnet!! One of the two!
My car is being serviced so I can't check!

Despite what manual and door frame say, 36 all round!!!

I run my '04 CV8 with 36psi all round. With the factory pressures, the front tyres wear out too quickly. I set them all to 36psi at the Bedford track day - steering seems a little bit lighter but there seems to be no loss of grip, or traction, even in this winter weather.

Concur, 36 psi all round

Thanks chaps, much appreciated.

Caspy, what's the benefit of doing this? any idea why the manual is "wrong"?

[caspy]

Just experience. Have always run at that pressure and never had any uneven wear issues.

Good advice from those above. Any less and you will take out the edges of the tyres.

I concur, this will happen in 8k miles or less

Must confess, I too run 36ish all around sometimes with a little more in the front than the back.

Mine came new,

with 36psi all round. Seems happy for what I need at 45F(245) 34R(265).
