Tyre pressures
Tyre pressures
I’ve finally put my new front tyres on the Austin Burnham 12/4 1929. The fronts have were set at 35psi by the garage so I’ve set the rears also at this as they were all over the place. but she seems to wandering a little on the road, does it pay to drop the rears slightly. What are the recommended pressures please. Thanks

Re: Tyre pressures
Pressure would have been set to allow for any air trapped between tube and tyre to escape and not end up with a flat tyre. From the handbook you should use 26lbs for front and 36lbs for rear unless fully laden when this should be increased to 42lbs.

Re: Tyre pressures
I have a '32 12/4 Tickford and use 30psi front, 38 rear which works for us. 42 at the back if heavily loaded.
