Advice on pressures needed

I am running 255/55/20 vredestein wintrac tyres & since fitting feel that I can feel every bump in the road. I had them re balanced today which has not changed anything & am wondering if I should lower the pressues or this is a characteristic of them I need to get used to until Spring? Any advice gratefully received

What pressures are you running?

33 36 is normal but less if your in car on your own mostly 31 34.

Think you will have 255/50x20 on your car. Thumbs Up

You can run standard pressures but we find +4psi above standard un-loaded pressure works for most. Thumbs Up Andy....

Thanks Googsy am running 36 rear & 32 front when cold will lower them a bit in the morning. I have ruled out anything else as on totally smooth tarmac its lovely. However when the wife says her 407 is a smoother ride on most the roads around here it hurts your feelings Sad Worse things happen at sea! Well thats what swmbo said when WRENS came to sea!!!

Thanks to Andy, just braced the cold to nip out to the garage & they are 50 Thumbs Up so what exact pressure would you recommend? Will also need some summer tyres in spring maybe you could pm me a quote inc delivery for a set of pirrelis? Worse things happen at sea! Well thats what swmbo said when WRENS came to sea!!!

Give them a try at 36F and 40R, as I said this works well for most. Thumbs Up

Do not forget...........to low a pressure will cost you more in fuel and will cause the outside shoulders to wear.

Also running to high a pressure will cause the centre of the tyre to wear more than the rest of the tyre but will give better fuel economy, the pressure I recommend is about where it is best for the Wintrac. Thumbs Up

Tyre pressures are a recommendation which you can adjust to suite your requirements and what works best for you.

50psi is way to high IMHO but I don't think you should drop below 32F and 36R.

Hope this helps. Andy....

I have wintracs on and they're very comfy - but mine are on 18's.

How'd you end up at 50psi?

I think he was talking about the tyre size!! Mike had originally said his tyres were 255/55/20, AJS had said they must be 255/50/20.

Think Mike was just confirming they were 50's Thumbs Up
