Hi again,

Sorry for the silly question but what sthe correct tyre pressure for standard Griffith (7 spoke 16" alloys) tyres front and rear.

I ask as the suppling dealer as no idea and the tyres are new so I don't want to damage them from over/under inflation.

The 7 spoke wheels are 15" front and 16" rear. Tyre pressures are correctly listed below

Tyre pressures are given in the black leather filofax-style binder that also holds the service history.

I hope you got one of these with your car?

set them to the corret pressures, get used to the car then increase the pressures by a couple of lbs all the way round, I run mine a litter hard (fnarr) and I think it feels better (quantify that then eh?).

The run out model has 16" all round - the book still says 22 & 24
......but then it does for every TVR and tyre combination

Sounds like your dealer is one who makes money out of selling cars and doesn't know a thing about TVRs. Find yourself a knowledgeable local TVR garage or TVRCC person.
