My FC Getting Better With Low RPM
SoL:
If you're not comfortable with tires at maximum sidewall pressure, you can follow a general rule of maximum-10%. So 270 is a perfectly good place to start with, if you don't mind the bumps.
Tires bulging at the middle is something from way back when tires did not have steel belts. Nowadays, higher pressure leads to much better wear. So in fact, higher pressure makes your car safer.

hi SoL, look like u r the #1 top tyre pressure within TLC liao..RG at 280 & 260 will be 2nd and bro fri13th #3 i think at 270 and 250. Nevertheless, do take into consideration of safety too, OK. Mine started off with my very old car at 210 for all tyre. Then on latio, started with the recommended pressure at 230 and 210. Now started to slowly increased to 240/220 and to 250/235 now...the car feel much lighter now...In Sg, the rd is perfectly for high pressure tyre but don't think so in Malaysia..

Yeah, in Msia I'll reduce pressure because of bumpy roads and long-D driving. Here in Singapore I feel that its ok to ride with high pressure.
But I still find it weird that car makers place tire pressure recommendations on their car. After all, they don't make the tires. I can't help but think if its a conspiracy to make us think latio ride is very smooth by asking us to use lower pressure. :glare:
LatioR:
maybe u r rite...by the way, what's the pressure travelling in Malaysia?
