For the tyres, are you looking at the recommended pressure or the maximum pressure imprinted on the side wall? |

Although few manufacturers actually spec pressures this way, running 3-4 psi more in the front than in the rear is best with front-drive cars, since the front tires carry the bulk of the weight. It will also tend to balance the handling by reducing understeer. IIRC, I ran the tires on my Excel at 34/30 front/rear. |

The pressure listed on the tire itself is generally the MAXIMUM pressure,
not to be confused with the recommended pressure. <djs@marion.sa.gov.au> wrote in message news:8aa8d0bd-08d0-49d4-8b18-2dede15a5ae5@s33g2000pri.googlegroups.com... > Hi All > What is the considered the best tyre pressure for a 2000 Excel?

I will try this and see how it goes. Thanks David |
