Hi
I had my rear tyres replaced today which actually got rid of a very annoying vibration I had at high speeds apparently the old tyre had seperated which was causing the annoying vibration. I got some Bridgestone Potenza s0001 fitted to the rear very nice tyre to drive on. I have always religiously ran all my commodores on 32 to 36 psi anyway I went to the servo today after they fitted them to check all the pressures. My front were still on the 36psi I have been running but the tyre shop had set the rears to 44psi. Now I usually only carry a normal load although the car is lpg so when I have a full tank of petrol and lpg I guess the rear end is pretty damn heavy. Anyway I thought 44psi was a bit to high so I dropped them to 40 psi. Just wondering what people run here? Should I set my fronts to 40psi? My main reason for usually running 32-36psi has always been about comfort I find the bumps get soaked up a bit better on the lower psi and the ride feels a bit more comfortable. I have always had low profile tyres though 245 45 18.... Im aware the higher pressures will result in excellent fuel economy and probably tyre wear but 44 psi is a bit high isnt it?
Thanks
