To kena 'Or Gong' 2500 pounds per tyre is no joke

Yes it's extremely heavy, I double the authority will put it to action uless it is very very necessary.The worst secenrio is invalidate of insurance coverage.So for those who modified thier wheels sizes & changing wheel alignment angles, brake system etc pl be very care full of yr modifications.

can it also be said that over-inflated tyres

can be dangerous as well. as it will have lesser

of traction than the optimal pressure. thus

braking distance is to be longer than normal

 

my take is that many are lazy to check and pump

the air pressure correctly every 2 weeks or so.

even almost all petrol stations have a air pump.

 

then there are definitely those who did not know

that they need to do so. thinking air will not escape

at all... like i recalled hearing a lady on the

roadside saying the to Performance Motors 'rescue car'

mech... (car overheated by holland v)

"Ar... you mean my car need water one meh... if i knew

i will not buy this car liao lor...!'

 

all in all, drivers need to be more aware ba.

10% over-inflation is acceptable, infact slight over-infaltion does inprove the wheel rolling ability and therefore less heat is generated.

 

Yes, many car owners just do not have even the min knowledge of car general maintenance.Have hear of a story of a owner who drives for more than few years without changing the engine oil.

My friend drove for 5 years, never pump tire before. He said when send for servicing, they will pump for me what.

hahaha... woman driver.. stupid..

 

recently i did a 240psi on my car.. front and back..

my FC improved.. and not muhc impact other than that.. well i could save a few dollars from better mileage.. think i might stand by that pressure...

tat's wat usually wat i do.

slight over-inflation.

 

better steering too

[Jonbummer]

servicing, they MIGHT top-up the batt water

but tyre pressure???

 

only if one does his servicing with Stamford Tyres.

[Jonbummer]

not all woman driver is that ignorant

some male driver can be quite dumb too

 

yes, over inflation does a bit to better FC

 

i pump 235 both front and back

[Chromas]

2,500 pounds can buy A LOT OF TIRES !!!

[Chromas]

Over-inflate to 50 psi and you have tires that will smoke all the way during drift...

[Robin]

i think 240 psi is too much right

[Jonbummer]

i think, if lucky it's drift

 

if unlucky, maybe people like me, it will be HELP....!!!!

 

 

[Jonbummer]

240... ok lah

not too bad, except that i will feel every humps

& bumps!

 

thus, i dropped to 235

[Robin]

i'm on 235 too...

[Jonbummer]

the best compromise hor

[Robin]

i guess so....

 

cause i'm to lazy to have different psi for the front and back tyres
