Tyre pressures

Post by Silver7 » Sun Oct 09, 2016 8:31 pm

I can't make sense of the pressure Sticker as it shows different pressures for a 265/30/20 - any recommendations for low load 2.5 people no luggage !

The bottom ones are mud and snow (M+S). 38 front 35 rear are what it says. I run 40/37. No real reason I've always just gone a bit higher than the 2 passenger, little luggage amount.

That's great thank you - I will give the 40 37 a go - roads are awful in south London. Are Michelin supersport a still the way to go - pirellis due for a change soon! Thanks for the help. Loving the car

Yes, MPSS are still the way to go, ditch the P-Zero's, it will transform the car.

Couldn't agree more! Superb handling, sharper response, more precise and quieter than P-Zeros! But be quick, I understand Michelin is in a process of replacing them with "touring car" tyres which are not even remotely as good as MPSS...
