Tyre pressures

48pop · Jul 26th, 2007, 14:59

Hi There,

What tyre pressures should I be running on my '66 122s Amazon? I have stock wheels and Tyres (165\85\15)

Cheers

I run mine at 32psi (Firestone F560 165R15) but I guess it depends on what works for you.

Here's a link to a previous thread about Amazon tyre pressures:

Cheers!

30/32 seems to be the concensus......I guessed last night and stuck in 31 !

Did make a big difference.....Back ns was low and it gave the effect of the back of the car trying to catch up with the front when turning right....very weird !

cheers
Gerry

Ive been running 34 all round, makes the steering nice and never had any issues in the wet, Hancook Centrum 165s

Ill also go with the 32 all round, a bit more in the back when loaded. I'm in Germany at the moment having done the Gothenburg run to the Volvo museum. Well worth it, and not a single glitch with the car after 1500 miles (tfu...tfu...tfu).
