35 Psi front and back

So they are under inflated as well which wont help. :wink:
Phil Mcavity:
I had a wheel wobble issue, which was cured after the Alloys were ment to be balanced by superTracker, but they made a complete hash and had a 100 ounce in-balance when they assured me "It couldnt possibly be the balancing when i went back to complain.
I then swoped fronts to rear and rears to the front, as it realised the newer pair i fitted were on the wrong axel. But what i think has amplified the problem now, is the tyres are now on the correct axel, but back to front or on the opposite sides as they should be.The fronts are most proberly the same!!. Problem is now, as the state of the inbalance of tread, the simply answer is completely change all 4 tyres for another Brand. Untill i have some funds (4 weeks or so) i will have to make do.
That means another £400 odd out of the pot that i wasnt expecting as these tyres still have half tread on them, my insurance is up in september, and was also hoping to Purchase a Down pipe and Cat to complete my mods. Gutted isnt the word right now. :mad:

What pressure do you recommend Ian?
Ifti:
I usually have mine at 39psi - seem to get even tyre wear at that pressure.
I think the recommended is 2.6bar (as stated on fuel cap), which comes to around 37psi.
Phil Mcavity:
if i am indeed under in-flated, wouldnt that cause the middle of the tyre to wear more. Mine seems to be opposite :confused:
