Hello from Edinburgh GB. I have a 2 litreLT diesel am using tyre pressures of 32 psi. I get a fairly solid ride using these pressures. If I go up to 39psi (eco) pressureswhat 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!

Might wear your tyres more at higher pressure? All Cruze tyres have same pressure?????????

Thanks never thought of that. Wonder what the tyre manufacturers view would be?More food for thought!!

i would hope that because its a manufactures sticker on the car that the higher psi had been tested! but you never know

39 psi recommended tyre pressure but uncomfortable ride, what on earth is a solid ride ?
