Tyre Pressures on standard 19" rims / tyres

Post by Spectre » Sun Aug 17, 2014 4:53 pm

just curious to know what pressures most folk are using with their stock rims and rubber. The 'book' says 38 psi with 42 psi listed for heavy loads. I find I tramline a lot with 38psi - does anyone else increase the pressure a little to reduce this?

I always do 38/35 front/rear on summer tyres. It doesn't tramline. Maybe you need a realignment?

Also, have a Hunter 4 wheel alignment (not just tracking). Made a difference to mine

I used one in Leicester and they had an RS6 in at the same time as well. They have 2 Hunter set - ups there. I can't recall the name of the place right now but I can dig it out if you are interested.
