I suppose it allows for fluctuations in tyre pressure as the tyre heats and cools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run 35psi but only dont 4000ks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangm001 Member 307 Member For: 19y 29d Posted 28/06/06 12:45 AM Share Posted 28/06/06 12:45 AM At first I ran my 18s Dunlop Sp9000s at 34psi, they started wearing slightly on the outside, then I bumped it up to 40psi as recommended by my tyre dealer, and they wore badly on the inside, especially the rears. Now running 37-38psi. So far so good. But if you push your car fairly hard through corners, closer to 40 is supposed to be better, but my car gets alot of normal daily driving..
