Tyre pressures ?

swt61 · Mar 20th, 2012, 13:10

Hi All,

What tyre pressures do you run your s80 d5 on with
215/55/16 tyres ?
I was running mine on 36 psi but found that it was quite bumpy after having new suspension bits and 4 wheel alignment done
I dropped it to 32psi and it does give a smoother ride but I am concerned about wearing tyres out for wrong pressures.
Most of my driving is dual carriageway and motorway daily to and from work

Regards
Si

My local tyre fitter advised 32psi on the same size tyres

36 is high unless you are fully loaded and high speed

32 will do fine both for comfort and tyre wear
