vts tyre pressures?

[LSOfreak]

what psi should my vts wheels (195/45/15) be? on the tyre it says like 51psi, but then on my mates 13' steelies on his nova, says 51psi aswell?

195/45R15 (VTS and common aftermarket alloy size) – 2.3bar/33PSI – Front, 2.0bar/29PSI – Rear

shit really, ive been filling up 51 all round!

[LSOfreak]

anyone else got an opinion on this?

[Badgersport]

Adsayer speaks the truth. In the Saxo owners handbook its 33psi front and 29psi rear for vts.

And i believe 51psi thats on the side of the tyre is the Maximum psi the tyre can take!

so is there anything wrong with taking it upto , say 40psi? or is 30 jus best overall etc

the only benefit of over inflating is lower rolling resistance (usually)... better mpg, high top speed


sadly though, less grip and uneven wear. so stick to the recommended pressures unless you a radically modified spaxo

overinflating tyres i wouldnt recommend, espec if you use them hard, the heat generated as ive seen can wreck the tyre if overinflated to much + increased pressure etc..

only on my R888s for track do i play with psi

Does depend on the tyre, but generally 30psi is the standard psi :y:

Never take the tyre to the maximum, its fucking dangerous lol!
