 Topic: Eco tyre pressuresPosted: 09 Oct 2011 at 10:11pm |

Hello from Edinburgh GB. I have a 2 litre LT diesel am using tyre pressures of 32 psi. I get a fairly solid ride using these pressures. If I go up to 39psi (eco) pressures what effect does this have on the handling and comfort of car?

hello fellow edinburgh person!
anyway onto your question; i have a 1.8 orlando petrol with 17" alloys, put my tyres up to the 39psi eco setting a few days ago and it fells much the same firm ride but not bone shaking. Passengers didnt notice any difference, and as a bonus my mpg went up from 25 to 30!
