Hi All

I've done a quick search on this forum but can't find the answer.

I'm running 185/70 x 13" Tyre's with 6J Alloy wheels on my Tiger, what would be the recommended Tyre Pressures front and rear for normal everyday use?

Thanks

Gary

Never an easy one that, best buy a digital thermometer then after a run take readings on the outside and center edges, outside edges hotter air add some, center hotter let some out.
That's they way I've done it anyway.

Ok thanks, I don't suppose the original Tyre Pressures quoted when the car was new are any good now due to the radial tyres?

Just out of curiosity what were the specified pressures Front & Rear for the Tiger with Cross plies fitted?

For the original RS 5 tyres ( 5.90 x 13 ) , the recommended pressures were 26 psi all round. This was supposedly up to 110 mph ! I don't think Tigers could do any more than this speed anyway, but if they could then the pressures should be raised to 32 psi.

I've got mine at 28 PSI all round at the Moment, so something like correct I reckon?

Thanks for the feedback :D
