Hi - Having fitted 185 x 15 Khumo tyres, what pressures should be employed please?
The User's manual suggests front should be higher than the rear by 2 psi but chats with other ppl at rallies suggest they should be higher at the rear. Also opinions vary up to 40 psi on the front to counteract the heavy non PAS and up to 32 on the rear.
Your thoughts please.

In my Khumo's i put 30 all round,they seem to sit nice and the ride is good.
Maybe around 38 in the front because of the no power steering?
Big Kev.

30-32 is sufficient 36 is max for Khumo's and even that may cause centre tread wear

Thanks Kev and Phil - have gone to 30 psi all round atm. Goes to show how we must get back into the routine of checking tyres oil and water weekly like we used to!
n/s rear had 12 psi and n/s front 14 psi! Helps to mitigate my complaints about lack of power steering don't it!

I ran my 3 litre at 32 psi, It had power steering but found in took the weight of the box and made up for the heavier engine so drove abit more like my 3.5

I ran my 3 litre with 36psi on Kuhmos as the sidewalls are so flexible and the understeer frightening. Poor grip, will never use them again.
