stretched tyres pressures - rd070707 - 25-04-2013

Alright guys I have 185 45 15 tyres fitted to my 8j wheels and 195s on the rear.

What psi should I have in them? I had thought my wheel bearing was knackered because I had a loud rumble but I've had it replaced and its still there. So I whipped those wheels off and stuck the lasers on and the noise was all but gone.

maybe the pressures are wrong or the wheel aren't balanced right?

Atleast the recomended pressure, i run a couple if psi over. Make sure to check the regularly. Get the wheels balanced up and try them again.

stretched tyre pressure that any one i know runs them at 35psi there is a rumble as ur running on the sides of the sideways as well if im correct not just the normal face of the tyre hope this helps Smile

Shouldnt be running on the sidewall, something is wrong if you are. Im running 40 in mine. Not had a problem so far, exactly the same sizes too.


RE: stretched tyres pressures - rd070707 - 26-04-2013

i dropped the pressures to 40psi as they were over 50 lol. definately has reduced the noise, and I will get the, rebalanced as well

40 is plenty. Its best to keep them at tge reccomended pressure for the car but make sure they stay there. I put 40 in just do i dont have to check it so often.
