Parking and Tyres

Post by Robbie »

I have found parking Nose in to a Kerb can scrape the underside of the front bumper particularly in public car parks. I have recently had to change my front tyres. They were both wearing on the inner section of the middle of the tyre. The Tyre specialist said this was caused by incorrect tyre pressures. He checked mine and found they were correct. ( 33PSI ) He recommended that I reduce the pressure in the new tyres to 31PSI.We will wait and see.

Found the same a while back with the fronts as per the tank flap decal at 33psi. Dropped them to 30 - 31 psi and the fronts are now wearing evenly across the width. But the uneven wear pattern remains the same, just at shallower depths across the width.
