19" tyre pressures

[marT350T]

Can anyone advise me the best tyre pressure to run on 19" tyres is it 24 psi same as 18" ones ?

I would email one of these guys directly to see what they were running on.

Hi,

When running my 19" wheels, tended to use the same pressures as on 18", 24psi.

To be honnest play around a bit until you find the pressure that best suits your driving.

Ok I will try 24 psi when I get home they are currently up at 28-29 psi so I will hopefully see a change

Also Sacha what size of tyres you running?

[sacha]

Cant remember off hand and also not using them at the moment due to the weather over here. I will check tomorrow and post the sizes.

That would be good, cheers.

245 35 rear
225 35 front

To fit these I had to have the rear arches modified to fit.

Hope that helps,

Thanks for that. I am running 235-30-19 on the front and 265-30-19 on the rear. I bought the car with them on and so far there has been no rubbing what so ever!

I would be suprised if the rear arches havent been modified a bit! but it could also be you are running different offsets on those wheels than mine. Whats the handling like?

Only had the car a few months and have been away from home with work most of the time so I haven't driven it much but it seems fine. Have 30 profile tyres its not the smoothest but hopefully when I get home and set the pressures to 24 psi and get a good run out in it I will be able to teel you more!
Does yours handle ok? Did you find much difference in the ride when compared to the 18" wheels?

When I had them on the original car, an 03 t350 it was fine much better than the 18" wheels, better grip and sharper feel. Had them on the new car an 05 but with the red rose chassis kit and not as good. I think with some little changes to the camber etc would be all it needs, but living over in Italy means no access to any dealers or garages i can count on for setting the car up so I will probably be selling the wheels off in the near future (also due to the fact black wheels look better than Silver wheels on my car).
