The owner's handbook for my '54 MGTF specifies 18 psig tire pressure. I now have 165R15 radial tires on the car on Dayton wire wheels. What is the recommended inflation pressure for this setup? SHoul

Howard, I keep my radials on the TF at 28 psi for what it is worth. I think 18psi is way too low. Terry in Oakland<BR><BR><BR>**<BR>Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favor

The TD book also says 18 psi. Most drivers fear that the rims will scrape pavement at pressures that low. Lawrie Alexander suggested 24F 27R for radials on TDs. That seemed good to me; I've used thos

I use 27LB with 165R15, but 32lb is better for handling. Jerry Gerald Felper Felper Engineering felperg@earthlink.net _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team

I keep the tires on my '54 TF at 26 to 28 psi, on the original steel rims/tubes/tires (well, the tires and tubes aren't original, but you know what I mean). Handles better and offers a better ride,

Since radial tires have more flexible sidewalls than bias ply tires, more pressure is necessary to make the most of their characteristics. In the course of my many years in the business, I have foun

In my TD I keep 28 in the back and 26 in the. I got those numbers from somewhere, years ago. Remember that the T rims were not made for tubeless as they don't have that extra ridge on the rim... If y

<<I can't imagine why Abingdon recommended 18 psi, unless it had something to do with Britain's road conditions or tire quality in the 1950's. Can you say BIAS ply tires, Mike?? Different ballgame. A

Thanks, everyone, for your tire pressure recommendations. I think I have been running mine at 26 front & rear. I assumed the reason for the specified 18 psi was due to the bias tires, and maybe the p

As we discovered from the post from the tire engineer at a major tire maker, pressures recommended by auto makers have to do with ride/handling considerations and less to do with tire design paramete
