Tyre Pressures BF Goodrich T/A

Post by Roger S »

Hi

Just bought a set of Magnum 500's for my 68 Charger, 275/60 x 15 Rear & 225/70 x 15 Front.
Original handbook says 26 lb all round is this a good starting point ? Or am I way off ?

Thanks

Good choice of wheels and tyres, as Matt says 30psi, that's what I run my Charger tyres at and have done for a very long time.
Are we there yet dad ..... 10 to the gallon but worth it.

Think the lower tyre pressures in the original manuals refer to crossply tyres :thumbright:

Are they not the same, I thought it was gallons that differed.

Yeah sorry Matt, I was joking :oops:
But if gallons can be different, why not pounds or inches? Hmmm... :-k

Lbs £s or #s

£/square inch is useful if having gold leaf added....
