Tyre pressures?

[Waynester]

For the 8x15" Oz's, with Toyo's fitted?
Search function didn't bring much up.

Well I reckon 26 to 30 psi

Try 30 and see how easily the rear wheels spin

Then knock back to 26 for staying on a damp road

But if you'r driving down the beach probably about 10 psi ?

I have 30psi right now but i might try a couple of psi less.
See how it feels. It might give an old crip like me a softer ride.

Well the handbook does say 22 front 24 rear. I tend to use 24lbs all round to give the steering an easier life, but anything over that seems a bit high to me, for a light car with a skittery rear end. Ok for long motorway runs though.

I run on the same pressures as the book and touch wood everything runs well.

I've used 22 front 25 rear on my OZ's (225 50 15) with Toyo Proxes T1S for a couple of years, and the wear is even, and the car feels fine on the road.

7.

I did check and they weren't as high as i thought, 26 front 28 rear.
I reduced both down 2psi each, seems to make the steering 'kick' less.

Well I normaly run the reverse, due to the front having more weight, hence should have more pressure. or run 24 all round, 30 will be too high.

[grahamw48]

Sounds like we're both running 24 all round then.

WE must be right !

Jonny,

So what does the book say for a V8 wedhe with 225/50/15's?

Does it give pressures for the optional 16's with the 245/45's?

I run 20 f 22 rear and have done for years. 30 is far too high - like driving on ice!

[gingerclive]

I also run 20 f 22 rear. feels good at that and tyres wearing even.

[TVRleigh_BBWR]

looks like anything from 20 to 24 depends on personal pref and how the car feels, still think you should run more pressure in the front as there in more weight.

Same here. Last time I experimented with varying the pressures a 2psi change either way was detrimental. I would think 30psi would be interesting to say the least.

22 all round works for me, although I pump the tyres up to 30ish if the car is stood for a while over winter.
