Tyre Pressures on 20" Tyres

Junebug85 · 04-10-2015, 09:25 AM

Firstly apologies as I'm guessing this has already been asked a lot on the forum before (I did do a quick search but couldn't find a clear answer)... For those out there running 20" tyres, what tyre pressures are you guys running on say a minimum load?

I know the sticker on the pillar recommends 2.4 F & 2.5 R. Has anyone found an optimum pressure...

I've experimented with a few different level but can't seem to find one that works well. I've come from 19" RFT tyres so I guess the ride will be a little more harsh now.

Front tyres are 245/35/20 and rears are 275/30/20.

Thanks

I have been running on the standard pressures but am thinking of experimenting a little after reading a comment by another member stating that running them a little higher seems to give him a better balance.
