I have not checked the tyre presures since getting the 360 GLT of Ben, so what presure would you reccomend with 195/50/15 on it.

I was running 35, 32.
But thats probably wrong.
I often am.

Sounds like it didn't have PAS then

It did.
Whats the correct amount of airs then Tom?

For 195s - no idea! Just looked like you were pumping the fronts up to ease the weight of the steering ...

No, I just asked the old man and he said 35front and 32back.
I blindly accepted.


Any one else got some air ideas?

I don't think I was ever that accurate, 30 all round would do

That extra 2 on the back adds about 8 HP man!

I think with RWD it's better to have the back pumped up. Whatever your driving wheels are the pressure should be higher to apply the power. Lower pressured fronts reduces under-steer but this doesn't apply to FWD.

I think.

with 195/50/15 i do the front at 2.3 bar and the rear at 2.5 bar

that makes 33.4psi front, 36.3psi rear

well it sounds very much like i wasnt paying attention and got them the wrong way round.

Me being a hypermiler i start with the max tyre pressure then -10%

Oh and remember if you're going offroad or fancy jumping your volvo, make sure it's up to at least 45

Off roads less pressure surely?

45psi sounds ok for the rear tires if you're planning some drifting..
