Hey all,
I just bought a set of four BF Goodrich Touring TA tires. It's the first set of new tires the car's had since 2002. While not the sportiest tires out there, they're supposed to have a decent amount of grip and tread life. Perfect for the amount of money I had available for the purpose.
While driving the car home, the handling seemed off. Not sure-footed at all. I was about to blame the tires and was feeling like I'd taken myself for a ride. But I checked the pressure, and all four tires were blown up to at least 34psi. Maximum pressure on those tires is 35psi.
So, what's the "correct" tire pressure for these tires on this car? Seems I've read that MGBs do best with higher pressure in the back, but really don't know. Seems that a pressure below 30psi would use more fuel and cause tire wear due to under-inflation.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
-Bill
