Tyre Pressues

[GJUK]

Hi,

 

What tyre pressures should I be running with 13 inch alloys with yoko 175x50's on please?

 

Thanks,

 

Jon

Somewere around 28psi I would of thought mate. depends on a few things though like, weight of the car, your speed and the weather. Check your pressures when the cars cold before you leave on a journey, and then check em as soon as you arrive, should rise by 4psi. Thats the rule of thumb ive allways gone by If they rise by more than 4 pump em up a bit, less than 4 let em down. Theres probably someone who knows a dead scientific way of working it all out but this has always worked for me.

i like to drift so i run 26-28 wet/dry in the front

and up too 42 in the rear in very dry with new tires

or 32 on worn in tires

Same mate, when i used to do drift days id stick 50 odd in the rears

Ive got 30 psi all round on mine, did have 25psi but was a bit bouncy, and 30psi is a bit stiff, so somewhere in between

Mine are at 30psi, probably abit high but it drives ok

I have to say that I need to check mine. Since buying the alloy/tyre package for the car about 6 years ago, I have never checked.

 

Oops.

 

Car's only been used for 1500 miles or so though

The book pressures are 1.7 kg/cm sq (24 psi) to 2 kg/cm sq (28.5 psi), this for 175/70/13 tyres. I've run mine at 26 psi for years and doubt the profile difference will make any appreciable difference to the required tyre pressure.

Thanks all.

I think I'm running about 30 all round...
