what pressure should i have in my tyres?
ive got a 1.1 and the standard 165/65/14 require 32psi front and 29 rear
ive got the vtr alloy that are 185/55/14 and on a vtr they should be 36psi fron an 32 rear so what should i put em at?somewhere in vbetween, ive got them at 34psi front and 31 rear

Engine weight will be a bit more for vtr (cast iron block) so go for something like you suggest, 34 and 31. See how it drives and go from there mate. Should be fine.

ive had it like like for a few weeks but it seems very unstable when crossing the centre of the road, the wheels really seem to get pulled by the white paint, didnt have that with my standard wheels and tyres. Are these over or under inflated?

Have you checked the balance of the wheels? or one could be buckled.

i have nee got a clue if they are to be honest!!i dnt think they are balanced though...theres no lead weights on any of em that ive noticed. i need two new tyres so i can get em done then


think ill just leave at current pressures, it seems there is no actual value so they'll do...thanks anyway for suggestions.

got em at 35 psi front and rear your back ones will have less grip than they meant to at that surely? is that not over inflation, i thought you were only supposed to have high psi in back when there is lots of weight, but if no problems then.............
