Tyre pressure?

Post by Manfromatlantis » Sat Mar 23, 2013 9:46 pm

Just to check ..... 

I have 36psi (315/30/22) in my rears and 34 psi (285/35/22) in the fronts... Is this ok?

It feels a little to hard and seems I feel every small lump and bump?

Cheers

I run mine at 32 all round with the same size tyres.  I can't see why the 'M' would need more.....

You should find the specified pressures on the front door shut.

You wouldn't need RFT's as the sidewall is so small there is no room for deformity should you lose the 3 square inches of air in each tyre :))
