I have just fitted new tyres to my 3000M 205/70 R14 original "T" slots. That is the max width for 6 "J".
I wonder if i should stay with standard pressures front 1.5 bar and back 1.7 bar.
I have pumped them up to 1.8 bar at the moment. Does that seem too much

I'd be going towards 2 bar front and rear Alan.

Maybe up or down 0.1 bar?

Thanks that's what i put for the first drive 2 bar all round and it seemed good for me. Not too heavy and some feed back

Just come back from a run along the Brittany coast with 1.8 bar in the tyres and she feels good (the 3000M that is).
Not too heavy on the steering, we will see when i have done some more kms.

Well i thought everyone was metric now except trump and the usa.
Like i said 1.8 bar seems not so bad and after i've driven some Kms i'll see.

Just increased pressure from 1.8bar to 2.0 bar (that's 2 x 14.7 for the die-hards wink wink)
I will see on next tour with car club.
I will also check what toe-in the car is. I my other cars i tend to adjust to 25' toe-in.
