Can anybody tell me what the recommended tyre pressures are for the 4.5 Cerb? I have these wheels fitted to my 4.2 & the only has the pressures for the 16"" jobbies.


Cheers,

Nick.

I run 18" on my 4.5 and have 22lb in the front and 24lb in the back. People do tend to run slightly different pressures but the most import thing is to run the same pressure across the axel - the difference front to back is not so important.

Cheers Paul.

I now have an excuse to go for a drive tonight (to get the tyres warm of course ) before I check them.

Be careful Nick, you're meant to check tyres when cold (ambient temperure), If you check them when hot you'll get a false reading as the pressure will go up as the tyres become hotter then the ambient.

Don't worry Paul,

I'll be telling the missus that they have to be checked when warm, hence I need to go out for a spin instead of making tea/DIY/bathing the nipper (delete where applicable).
