Tyre pressures are crucial on the LCR

Seemingly more so than any other car I've owned. I find there's a massive difference even only a few psi down. Car feels sloppier and oddly seems to pitch and roll more while cornering.

So uh.. yeah. Check your pressures often ;)

I think the heavier the car, the more you notice it. So depending on what car you had before you might just be noticing it more?

Cheers for the reminder though... that's something else to add to my weekend To Do list :lol:

why do some of you run other pressures? would you cook chicken at a different temperature to the instructions or anything else for that matter perhaps you put condoms on your head rather than your **** as you know better :w4nk: :w4nk: :w4nk: :w4nk: :w4nk: :w4nk:

33 is the right pressure anything different will affect safety and economy and durability. A variation of over 3 psi is dangerous as reported by the RAC

The recomended tyre pressures have quite a wide range on most cars 5-6psi,
The feel that any specific person likes is a very subjective thing.
I run my front a little harder than the handbook says, as turn in seems better, and the tyres wear more evenly across the tyre.
Rears are at handbook pressure.
This doesn't mean that I know more than the chasis engineers at vw, just that I know what I like you muppet.

How to make friends, Vol.1, written by B.Haze.....

The tyre pressures quoted by the manufacturer are a guide, a recommendation, not a 'do this or die' strict instruction. Of course, since you claim to be an expert in this area, you will already know that the 'guide' to tyre pressures from the manufacturer tells you that for higher speed driving, you should increase your tyre pressures. And for heavier loads, you should increase your tyre pressure. And, of course, being an expert you will also know that the 'guide' is written with the standard tyres in mind... not the many different aftermarket tyres that people may decide to run instead. Which means you will of course know that each tyre behaves differently and may need the pressure adjusted to be safe, perform as well or simply feel right.

So the reason why some people may run different tyre pressures, could be any number of reasons such as the speed they often drive at - motorway Vs city - the load the carry around or the tyres they use.

Next time you decide to be smart, engage your brain before your keyboard. Calling people ******s and dickheads isn't smart.

theres peeps on here that learn somthing new everyday. but some just hurl abuse!

tyre pressure is vital for good handling, stopping ect. but as said can be adjusted to help with loads and various conditions. obviously you need to keep an eye on tyre wear.... but then you should anyway.

seems a few lately seem to want to jump in with daft/immature comments before reading threads fully or reserching the subject.:confused:

Get your tyres filled with nitrogen rather than air too. Its particles are much larger, so your tyres don't go down as quick. It's alsomore stable. F1 technology!
