Tyre Presure
Tyre Presure
I have not checked the tyre presures since getting the 360 GLT of Ben, so what presure would you reccomend with 195/50/15 on it.

Re: Tyre Presure
For 195s - no idea! Just looked like you were pumping the fronts up to ease the weight of the steering ...

Re: Tyre Presure
I think with RWD it's better to have the back pumped up. Whatever your driving wheels are the pressure should be higher to apply the power. Lower pressured fronts reduces under-steer but this doesn't apply to FWD.volvosneverdie wrote:No, I just asked the old man and he said 35front and 32back.trabitom99 wrote:For 195s - no idea!

Re: Tyre Presure
with 195/50/15 i do the front at 2.3 bar and the rear at 2.5 bar
that makes 33.4psi front, 36.3psi rear
that makes 33.4psi front, 36.3psi rear

Re: Tyre Presure
45psi sounds ok for the rear tires if you're planning some drifting..
