Tyre Pressure

Postby ncmx5 » Mon Oct 01, 2007 6:10 pm

Coming out of an mx-5, tyre pressures always played important role in under/over steering. What does everyone recommend/use?

I think I have mine set to 34 these days.. can't remember.. lol

I haven't really noticed that much difference on the liberty in terms of tyre pressure. I know when I drove the FWD cars like Honda etc you could really noticeably tell the difference from 30, incrementing up to 40.

I got 18's and when I run 40psi, the ride is just abit too harsh for my liking... so I drop them down to 36psi.

36 for me.

Tyre pressure has a much greater effect on the "feel" of a FWD car than on an AWD.
With our low profile tyres, you can have quite low pressue, and not notice much difference until you really push them.
