To all Ford Falcon Owners:
It would be interesting to see what size tyres/rims people use and what psi they pump their tyre pressures to. Brand: Supercat Size: 225/50 R16 92V Front: 34psi Rear: 40psi Please list yours.

I run 40psi front, 38 rear. 235/45/17s |

Supercats are made by Bridgestone IIRC. theyre a non-directional tyre, but there quite good in my opinion. my 17's were bout 165 each.

So it handles! You'll find if you swap your pressures around, there will be a massive difference.

lol, once your tyres are around the correct levels, fuel economy difference is SFA.
Probably get best results with equal, high pressures all round. I have it higher on mine at the front because I found I like the back end to have a bit more grip, as the cars naturally tail happy. It doesnt oversteer anywhere near as much as a stocker, and with my suspension setup it just seems to work good that way. It also takes off a bit better as it can grab a bit more traction with lower rears, which is needed lol. |

Front
Brand: Kumho KU31 Size: 225/50 R16 92V Pressure: 37psi Rear Brand: Kumho KU25 Size: 225/50 R16 92H Pressure: 35 psi I found my car suffered from understeer with the pressures the same all round, although that was at a constant 35 psi. I lowered the rear 2psi and raised the front, makes the car far more prone to oversteer, especially having grippier tyres on the front. Now the rear tread is getting a bit low, i upped the rear pressure a bit as it still oversteers with the higher pressure, but is more predicable in a slide. |

Front
Brand: Kumho KU31 Size: 235/40 18 Pressure: 40psi Rear Brand: Federal 595 Size: 245/40 18 Pressure: 38-36 psi seems to work alright, the rear is set a little softer to try help it hook up.

Brand: Bob Jane Allrounders
Size:205/65R15 Pressure: 40psi (cold... not driven to the servo then filled) Reason: 80% of my k's are at 80-110 with cruise cont on. This pressure has economy and handling/braking benefits over recommended pressure. The round town bumps are more noticeable, but on stock suspension it's no drama.
