Those of you running 195/65rx15 tires, what tire pressure works best?

I used that size tire on my 71 and felt like 28 front, 30 rear was good.

I like 28. Zseems to reduce some of the road noise. ?

I run mine at the stock 26/29 and have no complaints.

I'm also using 28 front, 30 rear.

Ditto on the pressure I run in my 205x65x15's on original steel 5.5"rims.

Best for what?

I ran 36-40 in mine. Great turn-in, great grip. Wonderful for autoXing on hard-compound street tires of the day.

Anything between 28 and 32 PSI should work. Higher will be harder and feel harsher over bumps. Lower will be softer, the handling will be a bit more squishy, and it'll be more comfortable.

29.5 front

32.5 rear

195/65 r15 michelin's

when it's really hot or on track, i lower pressure based on wear indicators on edge of tires - i also check the pressure the next day when cold, and usually have to add to get back to above #'s

hope this helps
