Title: 225/45/17 Continental Premium Contact 7 Tyre Pressure
Post by: CerealGoofer on August 11, 2025, 10:04:35 am
Just wanted to share my experience.

Had new tyres fitted recently. The ride the Continental gave was harsh and crashy at the recommended factory psi settings.

Was running 35 all round on Michelin PS4. Experimented with 39/35. 37/35, 35/32, 34/32 & finally 32/30.

With the Continental finally settled on 32 psi up front and 30 psi on the back. Handling is much better now! With a lot more comfortable ride.
