I have on 195/65/15 Bridgestone’s on my '74 2.0 and am not sure what pressure is ideal. The original spec was of course for the original size tire.
I know it depends on driving syle etc. but what are suggestions for a car used for fun spins, cornering etc. but no extra hard manuvering. Different front vs back? Thanks Steve |

This is a GREAT question. And I don't know the answer. I usually inflate tires to about 2-4 pounds below the maximum allowed on the actual tire. I've never gone by the manufacturer's recommendations. But a friend recently insisted that the auto manufacturer knows better for the specific car.
I always thought a higher pressure was better for mileage, wear and even performance. Someone settle this, please! Paul |
