16 inch wheels.what`s the correct tyre pressure?

Post by hogggman » Sun May 18, 2008 4:24 pm

hi,
i have had my bongo for over 3 months now,and have never known the correct tyre pressure.it has 16 inch wheels,with japanese goodyear tyres,but i don`t see any indication of recommended tyre pressures.one thing i will say is that it does seem a bit`wallowy`when cornering,but i haven`t inspected the anti roll bushes etc as yet,mostly because i don`t know what i`m looking for.
thanks

Well I only have 15" ( what a boast!) but run very well on 38psi front and 40psi rear

I'd guess 16" rims would not be far away

A bit of trial and error should find the happy medium

Good luck

:wink:
