    tyre pressures?

    Little off the wall query. I am running 225x55x15 tyres on my car that weighs around 995kg. What tyre pressures should I run?

    how wide are the wheels? if the wheels are fairly narrow for the tyre size you may need more pressure to try and support the sidewalls, but by comparison by bmw race car, 1030kg with me on board and 225/45/15 on 8j works best with around 23/24psi

    I'd go for 26 front/24 rear.
