G60 Owners. What tyre pressures work for you ?

[shawshankkid 1]

Hi All,

Standard G60 Tyre pressure is... 36Back/41Front... I personally think after 5 years of driving it thats a bit high, especially on the fronts.

What do you run with / find good for handling / tyre wear etc-etc ?

I know this topic has been covered a few times but not with alot of opinions, if you own a G60 please please add your input to the thread.

 

Vbr, Chris.

I thought it was 33/38 but i agree either way it seams high, id be interested to hear what pressures other people use.

i go with 40 all round, mainly because im lazy and cant be bothered with pumping them up all the while.

 

ill admit they should be a bit lower though, so there is some give in the walls. makes the handling less skittish.

 

id assume for optimum youd be looking around 32 maybe a tad less on the rear, only my opinion though.

I run what the sticker in the doorpost tells me.. 2.8bar in the front, 2.5 in the back. (Or roughly 40/36psi.)

That's on 215/40/16's.

 

Been using this for over a year now - even on track days - and been working well for me.. I follow ze instructions! :hitler:

Can't really tell anything about tyre wear, etc, as I've been running the last months with totally wrong camber = no front tyres left.. :shrug:

depends what youre trying to achieve boss.

 

my method is 10 psi under max to allow for heat, but as stated this is because im lazy.

I usually go with 32 front and back!

 

Not sure why,think someone said to run them at that { 195-55-15}

 

Roads here in ireland are s**t,if i run anything like 36-38 ide end up in a ditch if i hit a pothole :(

 

What should i be running?? I want her smooth on the road and the tyre to last :)
