Default Recommended tyre pressures for 196/65 tyres please?
Hi all,

I have 195/65 R15 tyres fitted to 5 1/2" GT wheels on my Amazon. It feels a little floaty at speed and I suspect the tyres are over-inflated. What would the recommended pressures be for this tyre/wheel combination?

Many thanks!
Ric

It's not a factory combo but I would be trying 28f/28r, 28f/30r, or 30f/30r. Depends on how you drive. Equal psi front and rear would tend to give you neutral or slightly tail happy handling.
