Just a stupid question....
The tyre placard for my W140 states the pressure to be 27 PSI.
So, being a "do it by the book" bloke, I ran the tyres at that pressure for the past three years, clocking up around 50,000km.
This is the tyre print I noticed the other day...
My question is, if the advised pressure of 27PSI gives a wear pattern like this, showing a tad of underinflation, then what pressure should I really be looking at running the tyres?
(By the way, I have taken her to the blacksmith and had her reshod.)
