Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted January 10, 2003 What should the PSI be for 205/40/17s on my VR6? Same as if running on 15s? Or a bit higher to stop hitting the rims in a big bump? They're currently at 20psi front and 18 psi rear - but thats cos I've been driving in snow :) Motorway driving tomorrow (well, today now :?) so need to put them back up - and wondered if they should be any different.

20valver 0 Posted January 13, 2003 Thats a good question! I'm not sure of the answer anyway, and I'm running 17's myself. Come on someone must know some psi's!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimbo-corrado 0 Posted January 15, 2003 30 psi all round works a treat , ive been running 17's at that for quite a few year's and had no tyre wearing probs , + thats what the tyre shop put's in them when ive bought new ones !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted January 15, 2003 That's a bit of a difference from the 36/32psi for 15s though. Since the amount of tread on the road should be the same (i.e. 205) then I assume the pressures should be. Depends how you like your handling too. Personally, I prefer it to be a little fiesty :) I wouldn't always trust what some tyre-shop puts in. They more than likely filled the tyres when they weren't on the car - that is normal practice. So the pressue they get in the tyre is totally different to when each has a 1/4 of 1.5 tonnes sitting on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
