Re: strange steering problem

lol, precision! That's the name of the game! Although I doubt you'll find a garage who's inline tyre guage will read to 9 decimal places!

Higher pressures are great for fuel economy - not so good for staying on the road

Based on how you (and I) like to drive then might be better to leave at 2.1 bar

If you're going to push a motor then it's a good idea to check tyre pressures all around first

Re: strange steering problem

Ive always run tyres a little harder than the book says.. maybe 3 psi more on the front and 4 -5 on the back.. seems to stop the tyre rolling and get a much better turn in from the fronts reacting and maybe the rears dailing a little over steer in (not that I am promoting over steer cornering techniques) .. fuel is usually improved a tad too.. the scarifice it seems is a harsher ride.

Re: strange steering problem

Anything is OK as long as it's consistent, doesn’t create uneven tyre wear, and you're used to it.

The principal point is that of all the things that can radically change the handling of a vehicle then tyres pressures must be at the top.

.....so just take care
