Hi, I've knocked them down to 30 psi now. Thanks for all your help. When I checked them they had only been around the block once and were pretty cold. They were still reading 50 this morning when I checked them so I dont think it was that Neshol.

Cheers all

An alloy wheel place told me that you add 1.5psi for every inch bigger the alloy is on top of the standard rim pressures

mine are 30psi front 32psi rear

mine are 30psi all round

It is recomended to be 29 psi on the front and 31 psi on the rear. But quite a few people will change these pressures about to get different handlig charecteristics. BUT, don't inflate the front tyres harder than this, becuase it can cause very unpredicatbale under steer, which has apparently led to loads of accidents recently... (Neds pumping thier front tyres hard so they can do big burnouts :rolleyes: )

I have 32 psi all round in a 1.6 corsa but might go 32 rear and 30 front :|

Hi all,

Thanks for the info, I thought they were abit hard. I'll sort them out before I drive anywhere else I think!

Cheers,

Nikki

I've got 32 at the front, 29/30 at the rear :|

Mainly for the purpose of thinking I'm cool wheel spinning off the lights - then shitting myself when I get understeer :lol:

Might just adjust that lol... should be slippier on the rear (harder) and softer on the front idealy.

50psi feck! Dont drive far otherwise you could have a blowout! Thats waaay to hard. I run mine 28front and 34rear for the best performance in my 1.2 16V - find it helps to introduce a good ballance of under/over steer having the back a little harder and the fronts will get a little harder as they build up heat from driving.

Go for haynes pressures for a good ballpark figure.. it shouldnt really matter what tyre/wheel combo you have...

i think they should be about 30.
someone better confirm this but im sure mine are 30 psi.
if there too hard u will loose grip but ive heard someone say its better for going faster:o
im not sure tho

Hi everyone,

Just got my first set of alloys today. Put them on and went for a spin. They felt pretty hard, checked the pressure and they are at about 50psi. Is this ok? This is way over what it says in Haynes, is it different for alloys. Wheels are TSW lightnings and tyres are Yokohama A539 195/45R1578V.

Cheers

Nikki
