Tyre Pressure Long journey - loaded

Mark Type S GT · 15th July 2008, 16:31

I am off to Corwall with a car loaded for a weeks camping with the family (Praying for no rain). Looking on the Wiki there tyre pressure recommended is 30psi front and 38psi rear (Type S petrol 17"). 38 seems high, anyone else ran on 38psi? I assume then its best to drop some pressure when un laiden

Cheers in advance

Hi Mark. In the wiki it states that unloaded tyre pressure on 17" tyres is 30 psi front and 30 psi rear.

Take a look: Tyre Pressures - Civinfo Wiki

Yeah usually run on 30psi, was just wondering if anyone else had ran to 38psi as it seems quite high

Just out of interest Dimplyred - where abouts in Staffordshire are you?
