Tyre pressures ?
« on: August 12, 2010, 08:26:09 »
Ive got a slight issue with my disco - over 50/55 MPH the car starts to shake badly... i thought i should start at the tyre pressures ! tyres are 225/75/16's and are a AT pattern - what should i be running ?

Buckled wheel, tyre I had one on my Freebi that was the wall of the tyre was starting to collapse

A friend brought Two sets of Avon tyres for his Rover car and there was a shake and thud, turned out to be the tyre damaged in moulding or how they are made There was a ridge across the tyre, so it was like a rod across the tyre check for similar, just a thought
