    Default Tyre Inflation Pressure

    Hi Guys i have a set of 235/45/r17 tyres on my stock 17inch mags... The tyre only states a maximum inflation pressure. The tyres are dunlop SP3000A.

    What pressure should i inflate them too?

    the 3000a's run great on 33-34

    I have my SP3000A's at about 40psi. Might be bit rougher ride but save bit on fuel. I think the max is 44 or something.

    36psi is ideal as MaN|aC said any higher and they r pressures used 4 towing any lower and u'll start wearing out ur tyres sooner than expected.

    Does it matter what size wheel/what type of tyre for inflating? i just got 19s and they inflated them to 40psi and i got told by them to keep them between 38-40psi but the tyres feels very solid to drive on now..

    yes thats correct havin a smaller profile doesnt give u as much flex in the side wall as a larger profile so u need 2 keep them fairly hard. being 17s more then 36psi 4 everyday driving is 2 much.
