Check in you owners manual or in the door shut

Mid 30s is always sweet. Good rule of thumb these days.

Totally agree . for the front(DANG it, did I partly agree with you or something)
30 rear/ 34 front a pretty safe bet for anything apart from ultra low profiles
After that it's "what model/ What loads/ What tyres"

Set for USA flat concrete roads, not for NZ roads

splinter67, Jul 15, 2:34pm
How can that be USA dont have comodores

nzfatie, Jul 15, 4:30pm
40psi for better fuel economy, lighter steering and longer tyre life!

mrfxit, Jul 15, 4:33pm
Yea ok so it's a pedantic point, they are there but under different names & different body options.
it's where the parent manufacture & design work comes from along with a large amount of the cash.

splinter67, Jul 15, 4:40pm
Yes they are in the USA exported from Australia and rebadged as Pontiacs they are also sent to the UK and called Vauxalls

also for nil grip, nil braking and generally a short, exciting life ended by ploughing into something solid!

nzfatie, Jul 15, 5:27pm
So you're an A Grade mechanic like me Megan!!

skiff1, Jul 15, 5:52pm
No too smart for a grunt job like that

skiff1, Jul 15, 5:53pm
Are mechanics the only people who know about tyres!

I run 40 in Falcon and get 60, / 70.000km out of a set of tyres

skiff1, Jul 15, 6:01pm
you may do, but as sure as god made little green apples, you will give away grip for milage. Personally, I buy good tyres so I can stop and turn, so I run them at the manufacturers recs to let them do their work.

120 psi for maximum grip

twink19, Jul 16, 12:18pm
sorry to disagree, I did over 300,000k in my pajero, and about 50k in Falcon, mostly towing Puke, HD, Manfield never had any problem with handling, stopping etc, and the manufacures recomendations are to sell more tyres, in my opinion

:) Tyres are cheap insurance when you think about it, considering its the only thing holding you on the road.

splinter67, Jul 16, 12:21pm
I like to watch you put 120psi into a tyre

johnf_456, Jul 16, 12:22pm
Sounds like some cheap entertainment, where could we do it and have a drink up.

caffineaddicted, Jul 16, 12:27pm
only want to run about 34/36psi

bellky, Jul 16, 12:31pm
Sensible.
