Tyre pressures
 
Ive been meaning to ask this one for ages. Im running 17" alloys on my silvia, what tyre pressures are other people running front and back with similar sized wheels?

I run 36PSI front and 30-2 back

What tyre size are you running? It all depends on your use of the tyres, If you give it the beans then you might find that's a little to high on the front. Everyday driving should see those pressures work ok though. Check to see how the tyre is wearing, if the pressure is to high then they will go bald in the middle of the tyre first and if it's to low then you'll find the tyre wall itself to get scrubed.

i used 30psi all round with 225/45/17's and they wear even.

28-30psi for me

The tyre fitters fitted my 17's at 36psi, it was too high in my opinion

I set all my tyres for road use to 30psi and thats not because im thinking about magpies:D ;) . That is after ive driven on them so the tyres are warm.Its no good setting them to a certain pressure when there cold if you dont know exactly what they will be at when your driving them lol :)

30 psi for normal road use, 32 psi for track/high speed use and 28 psi when it`s snowing ;) . This is the advice I was given when I got my last lot of alloys from Wheelbase in Oldham.
Regards,
Ian.
