On, tested. No wabbles or shaking of any sort, no pulling to the left or right and drove just fine... Old mate at the tyre place said he likes to put 38 - 40 PSI in these low profile as the wall is so short. Went to servo to pump up the front 2 and servo pump was jammed on KPA so consulted Dr Google and 250 KPA is 36 odd and I'll try that first. Put 250 KPA into front 2 (1 had only 90 KPA in it) but out of curiosity put the pump on the rear 2 that old mate pumped up and 286 KPA and 295 KPA... :eek:.... I let a little out...lol, but tbh he was using one of them things you press into tyre valve and it pops out, you know the ones, they come in a Christmas cracker. I'll warn him next time I pass.

So yeah one wheel does have some rash but not a lot, and just on the edge and I know easily fixable. Other 3 rims are VGC with no real scratches.... RESULT I reckon... :)

Anyway pics of them on...

Be mindful, different air gauges read differently.....

I have 3 at home alone and they vary 5 PSI between them and they barely get used....Ones that get used often and more so abused like servo ones have a greater variation.

So my advise I always give is, grab your own air pressure gauge and use that to set pressures with....

Otherwise, as long as you are happy with your purchase, nothing else matters.... :)

I run 40 psi in my SSV with stock 19 inch rims. Feels a bit doughy handling wise when it’s below 40 psi in my experience.
