tyre pressure for 17 inch wheels?????

[pez]

what tyre pressure do I need to use for front and back wheels on my tubby?

The tyres are Nankangs on 17 inch alloys.

Thanks

32 front 34 rear and see how it feels. Some folks run higher, some run lower. Just depends on how you 'feel' with the tyres. But Nankangs? Not the first choice for a road tyre

I know, i know. The wheels came with them and i have not bothered changing them. Might be my next thing on the list.

Nankangs, lol

Book pressures for 15" rims are 29psi front and 33psi rear which I run on my 17's and these suit my tyres fine. Have a play with the pressures and see what feels best.

I was under the impression that you should keep a 4 psi difference between front and rear pressures?

why are nankangs bad?!!! Just curious.

well they last forever and are cheap as chips but have almost no grip. Commonly known as ditchfinders, you can guess why

Yep that's what I run, you will need to experiment a bit with different tyres tho.

i run 17" with some cheap (kwik Fit NOT Cheap) made by dunlop GT things that i had to get to get me out of a slow puncture and was getting late lol
any way

dunlop GT front 30psi
Toyo Proxies rear 30psi

is working for me but might amp up the rears slightly as she feels a bit ar$e end springy

i had a set on my previous car and both front tyres failed within 3 weeks of each other the inside wall just split on both there where no signs of wear so in the bin went the nankangs.

29 front
31 rear work for me

Funnily enough I had a brand new set that delaminated, the tread came away from the tyre on the inside edges after a few weeks!

29psi(f)
32psi(r)

Well, thats what the gauge on the pump used to say anyway. This would fluctuate with temps though obviously so you can only really take an educated guess at what you actually run.

29psi(f)
32psi(r)

The above setting is good as i currently have 32 front and 34 back and the car bounces round corners when going in small road holes as well as having not enough grip (the main grip problem is having Nankangs).
