Hiya guys and gals,
Have just had new tyres fitted, but the 'technician' inflated them to 38 PSI. Recommended is 30 PSI. He says the Ford and tyre geeks are wrong and he is right; his 38 will give more tyre life and a better ride. Another person claims Ford/tyre manufacturers understate tyre pressure so as to generate sales. So I am wondering ... What tyre pressure(s) do you maintain and what is your rationale for that choice of pressure(s)? (BTW, the newbies are Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max 215/60R16 95V, $146 each at Beaurepaires. I phoned and asked for price; was told $161, then asked for my NRMA 10% discount. Bit of a bargain, actually.)
