Alright guys I have 185 45 15 tyres fitted to my 8j wheels and 195s on the rear.
What psi should I have in them? I had thought my wheel bearing was knackered because I had a loud rumble but I've had it replaced and its still there. So I whipped those wheels off and stuck the lasers on and the noise was all but gone.
maybe the pressures are wrong or the wheel aren't balanced right?

Atleast the recomended pressure, i run a couple if psi over. Make sure to check the regularly. Get the wheels balanced up and try them again.

40 is plenty. Its best to keep them at tge reccomended pressure for the car but make sure they stay there. I put 40 in just do i dont have to check it so often.
