Hi

Just a quick question. What sort of pressure should I have in my 18” tyres on my VT? Are the specifications on the inside of the door frame still ok to go by or should it be more in order to keep even pressure on the road since there is less tyre wall?

I’m going camping this weekend and my car is going to be loaded up.

cheers

Ive got same rating tyres. Have been running 40psi ever since ive run 18s on all my cars. Im prepared to sacrifice a bit of ride quality to insure my rims dont get damaged.

Yeah, I’m paranoid about damaging my rims as well.

Do you find you get even tyre wear with that pressure?

thanks
