Tyre pressures
Hi All,just got myself a cracking set of pro refurbed Meteors with very good 225/45/17 Bridgestone Potenzas. Can't find anything in the book regards tyre pressures for 17",anyone know what it should be?

If your car is a tourer its 34lb of air front and back.

Having done 30 miles or so with the pressures at 32, I'm going to try the 30/28 as suggested above, as the ride quality is a bit too fidgety.Strangely feels like a more modern car now, but I bought it for its waftabilty,albeit i love the looks with the Meteors on.
Other than that, might try 225/50/17's to see if that helps, any one care to comment?

I'd go 2.5 (Front) & 2.4 (Rear). That's bar.

Well I've just dropped to 30 front and 28 rear, and it does seem a little better.The Bridgestones have stiff sidewalls apparently compared with some other brands, so that might have someting to do with it as well.
Maybe 225/50/17's are the way to go?
