[Chevelle-list] Tire pressure?

[Pelle Chevelle]

Ha ha! No I take it quite easy :-)

 

Maybe I should go for a narrower tire at the front?

It is as if the tire can’t take the weight of the engine due to it’s

bulginess and width, leaving the front tires looking a bit flater!?

 

It’s not a big difference but it looks as if there’s less air in

the front tires even though the pressure is the same on all four.

 

It’s 265/50 15’s on 7’’ rims.

 

Maybe I should do what Karl suggested?

I would run 30 psi in front and 28 psi in the back tires, if going to get on
it hard!!  Ha Ha  if you know what I mean!!!!

Hi guys!

 

What tire pressure would you reccomend for a 402 BB with 265/50 15''?

I run 2.5 kilos (approx 36 PSI?) in all four but the front tires gets a bit

deformed since the car has 70% of its weight at the front!?

Should I compensate for the higher weight at the front?

 

 

Best regards
Pelle
