    Default Tyre pressure question...

    Ok, my WK's door plates say on standard load I should put in 32 PSI and 34 on MAX.

    Now when I drove the car on about 34 PSI I got some steering wobbles at freeway speeds. I put in 36 PSI and its a LOT better... dont even think about it now.

    The back tyres have a standard to 36PSI on max load.

    I dont know much about cars so just though I'd see if anyone know if this is a normal thing to do?

    Educate me

    i drive with my 17x8 (235) on 40psi. Car responds much better and helps with the terrible camber wear on my VT.

    36 is a minimum, the lower the profile, the higher the pressure.

    235/35/19 i would run at 40-42.

    235/45/17 i would run at 38

    I run my 235/45/17 Dunlop Sport Maxx at 40psi a bit bumpy but very good for wear.
