Tyre pressures
Discussion
hmm.
i run mine at 2.5 bar per corner. i know a lot of people go higher (but i have wondered if that's part of the puncture issue (not enough 'flex'..??). anyway the missus has had the car for touring for a week and because her grandparents live in the middle of no where i the front tyres got a couple of psi knocked out of them... last night i went to pump them up again and the handling was definitely not quite as good. but it just seems wrong to have higher rear pressures than front in a fwd road car... any views...

? 2.5bar all round is the factory recommended pressure for 17" runflats (according to the label on my door!). other people i have spoken to ohave gone higher than this.
for clarity what i meant was the front tyres had gone 'under correct pressure' but the rears were 'at' correct pressure and i prefered the handling - so i was wondering what kind of pressures other people ran - same all round etc etc...
