Cant stretch to a RR sport so bought a set of 20" wheels for my TD5 complete with 275 40 20s. Problem is I dont know what pressure to run em at. Could anyone advise what the handbook says for a RR sport with these tyres/wheels,read it would at least give me a starting point. I do alot of high speed miles but also tow a large trailer and heavy caravan ( yes yes yes I know ) shoot



Thanks

biggrin

The tyre pressures for 275s are:

Up to 4 passengers
F 33
R 36

5+Luggage
F 38
R 42

I run mine around 36 on the front and 40 on the rears, works best for my mixed driving.

The V spokes look good on the D2 by the way.

My pleasure Red.

Just had a thought, is the D2 much lighter than the 2,7t RRS?

If so just wondering if you may be better off running the pressures a bit lower.

Did you have to fit spacers to get the wheels to mount properly?

Cheers

No spacers required, just a set of spigot rings because the centre bore is a fraction bigger, oh and a new set of nuts.

Running 34 38 at the min feels a bit hard, but that could just be the lower profile tyres.

Thanks Again

You're right could be the lower profile, have had 18's on as well and these were much more supple than the 20's.

Enjoy.
