Anyone know what the tyre pressure should be for 215 x 70 x 14 tyres on a Duster

Cheers

I usually have all my tyres at 30 to 32 psi regardless of type of car or size of tyre

Anywhere between 30 and 34 on my tyres no matter what the car or tyre size. I can tell by the feel what is working best for me. Which means I change the pressure depending on conditions and type of driving I am doing.

There is a name for people like me you know?

I'm running 32 front 34 rear,feels right after experiment.
Dave,I hope you also run your new tyres in correctly. Fit and bed in on cold damp roads with no sustained high speeds or hard acceleration or harsh braking for the first 200 miles. It's reckoned that tyres run in correctly last up to a 1/3rd longer in service.

I live in a city center in the North. I am sure my new tyres get run in correctly.

That run-in is a new one on me ... anyhow, running less pressure at the rear (2lbs or so less than the front) worked best for me. Always figured the pressure reflected the amount of weight on the wheel

My daily driver has slow leaks on every wheel, I put a different pressure in each tyre, relative to how quick it leaks ... now thats anorakish

I completely agree. But I find that unless there is a massive difference in front to rear weight it is not worth worrying about a couple of pounds. In particular if the rear tyres are fatter than the fronts because the pressure on the road is less.

I find that the same pressure all round on both my cars works out OK. But there is a huge difference if I change the pressures up or down by more than 2lbs all round.

I always liked to run the front tyres a bit soft on the GN, as I kind of like to feel the tyre roll under a bit.

Too hard or even just right and it got a bit pitter pattery which I don't particularily like.

30 and change for the Monaco, but I am sure it has 15inch wheels.
