Unloaded 32psi all round.

 

[05omegav6]

I used to run my old cdx on 36psi front and 40psi rear, failure to keep those pressures caused excessive tyre wear and early changes, it was running as a hackney carriage at the time !

As is mine

Agreed

When we tow with the Estate we up the tyre pressures as per the manual, however the rear is very loose on sharp bends if you don't drop it back down again when solo.

I can understand max pressures when loaded obviously, or, not knowing what load you'll have at any given point if a taxi for instance.

But max pressures in an unloaded vehicle is just horrific. Harsh choppy ride with little grip.  ...as you'd expect.

Also explains why most taxis are so dog slow steady.

30 (F)......33 (R) seems to work well for me.

I suppose it all depends on how accurate your pressure gauge is.

Well....37psi all round got me 37mpg to Liverpool and back today, not that impressive in a 1.8 petrol.

At 37mph..? And back? So not even the scousers wanted it?

Seriously (honest) I'm not impressed, or unimpressed. It's just like my zafira, in fact, it is my zafira, with a different badge and a few more toys.
If I'd have known beforehand what it was like, would I have bought it?  Ermmmmm.....probably not. It's just not different enough, depite looking very different.  But, in the end, a people carrier is what I need and it's what I've got.......

[MR MISTER]

Oh...and like most mummy buses, it's better to drive round town than on the motorway.

I can't believe your so Blaze about spending that sort if money. How can you not know what its like before parting with all that cash? Test drive? At least? 

[MR MISTER]

Believe it or not, Chris, to some people a car is just not that important. It gets me where I'm going.

Pffff I don't know why I'm even talking to you, your clearly a wrong'un.

Just a car...?

Its the second most important purchase anyone will ever make in their life after a house. A machine with years of development, design and experience behind it. Numerous parts all working as one to bring a machine to life. Parts that add up to something a lot more than the sum of those parts.

Just a car? It's not the destination, but the arriving that's important. The manor of the journey. The...

Oh forget it. I'm just wearing out my virtual keyboard here

It's the second most expensive purchase most people will make. And most of them are as interested in their car as their foodmixer. They simply don't care about the development etc, etc as long as it starts every time and doesn't cost too much. Hell, most BMW owners are only interested in the badge on the front; they could probably have stuck them on Robins and sold more than Reliant ever did.

Ahhhh, the old Stereotype.  Never tires that one!.
