I have a Morgan 4/4 Handbook for an 1880cc 4/4 and it states that the tyre pressures for 165 tyres should be 18psi or 1.3 BAR on all wheels.

Apart from Ebay, I don't I'm afraid. But you could ask on discussion groups like Mogtalk or Emog as owners of similar cars may have copies.

Hi, I have a 1994 4/4 and my manual states that the tyre pressures should be 18PSI all round.
I have found this to be ok except, if you want slightly lighter steering, put in 20PSI. I am still on my original tyres with nearly 40,000 on the clock so I must be getting something right. No comment made yet on MOT test.

FWIW tyre rubber continues to degrade, irrespective of wear, so that 6 years or so is considered by some to be the outside point at which it may be prudent to renew. See http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html for identifying markings.

I was recommended 22psi all round by a morgan engineer

I run my 4/4 at 22psi all round. 18 is just too soggy for my taste.

I did a bit of track work a couple of weeks ago and raised the pressure to 26psi. TBH I havent bothered to reduce it again, whilst its a little more firm, its also improved the sharpness and i'm now getting 45mpg.

I'll probably go back down to 22 though as this seems a happy medium for normal use
