Check your tyre pressures this winter

Postby CJ » Wed Jan 07, 2009 8:31 pm

Note that lower ambient temperature means lower tyre pressure. I checked the pressures on the GX this evening (-1 deg), they where down 7psi over normal. Note Mitsi recommend 32psi front and 28psi rear. More info:

remember, low tyre pressure affects handling, economy and tyre life...

Agreed. I'm doing mine once a week at this stage and they are down quite a few psi every time.
