Feels a bit hard with pressures I have - advice?
Hi I am running 36 psi at the front and 40 psi at the rear on my 110 hard top, I do have to carry maximum weight about once a week but I find that the ride is a bit hard. I would like it to be a bit softer, what pressure would you recommend guys?

I have steel modulars with Cooper Discoverer STT (265/75/16) tyres 110 Hardtop

32front 38 rear for me but that is on a 90.
I don't tow either, not heavy towing anyway. I've ways ran this pressure as is in the handbook.
I don't doubt a 110 may be a touch more though.

When running at max weight or towing I use 30 psi on the front and 65 psi on the rear as per the book.
For normaul use I use 30 psi front and 38 in the rear.

That's running 235/85/16 Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

Thanks, looks like when I'm running round empty the pressures are a bit high making it a hard ride then Smile

Will drop them and see Embarassed 110 Hardtop
