Tyre Pressure

[syth]

Hi what is the required tyre pressure for Holdern Commodore VT Executive.
Is it different for front and rear tyres....
Thanks.....

If you have a look on the drivers door, when you open it up, there is a sticker that says tyre placard. Its above the lock at the end of the door. It will have suggested tyre pressures for the standard size tyres. Usually you would run approx 32 psi in them. Hope this helps.

hey mate used to work for bridgestone and we recomended 36 psi all round for better economy and tyre wear

It depends on your tyre size too i believe. Some performance tyres suggest you inflate them a little harder. If you over inflate you are going to wear the tyres out in the middle. Under inflation will wear them out on the outsides. Give your local tyre place a call, tell them your tyre size and they will recommend the best pressure.

34-36 psi for the front and 32 psi for the back, you need more in the front because most of the weigth is there

What about when you floor it and the ass end drops down, pressure > weight

i keep mine at 40 psi the ride is a little bumpy but this pressure gives me the best tire wear and fuel economy and grip especially in the wet.

After putting it up i noticed the reduction in drag caused by the tires when compared to when i ran them at 35psi.

I have got 4x Goodyear Decaro GA's on my car and when i got my alignment done i found that i am one of the lucky ones with a series 1 VT that does NOT suffer from the camber problems common with VT's.

I run 36psi on my WHII. I'm also one of the lucky ones, no wear problems for me either with the IRS.

Higher pressure will give less traction.
I run mine at 36PSI all round.

i found that with my tyres that i got more grip especally since i quite often have very heavy loads in my boot (600+ KG's at times).
