Sorry this is so basic.....
When I bought my last Charger I got new wheels a week after I got it and the tire firm gave me a card with the pressures on. This I gave away when I sold the car, but I can't for the life of me remember what they should be.

I think my front tires are 225/70 R15..will have to pop out into the car park on my lunch break to find out the rears...
Any ideas of the correct tire  pressures?
Cheers

Mine just have the massive permissible pressure and loading on them. So the best pressure will vary according to the car they are fitted to.

BTW I've checked the sizes, Its actually 205/70 R15 (Nasty skinny things!) and 275/70/R15 out back.
Thanks

Radial tires generally range from 28-35 psi  I like to run 30-32 as a personal prefrence

:iagree:
32 all the way around for me.

Try and keep tire pressures even on all 4 corners for street driving....at the track is a different story.

I find that if I go higher than 32psi, due to the wide tires I have, the car tracks more in the ruts on the road

Hmmmm. Because of my Land Rover fetish, I'm used to putting more in the back  :-[
(e.g 36 rear-28 front!!)
I'll switch to 32 all round, my (current tires are pretty small by modern standards.

my crew cab tires are 10 ply, steel carcass tires. They need 50 psi in the front and 80 psi in the back. I keep them even at 50 psi all around for reasons 6t9 charger said, unless I'm towing my 69.
If it ain't wide open; it ain't running.        Rule number one in motocross racing: Pin it; row the gear box; and wait until you hit something.     At work my motto is: If you need me, call someone else.

depends what you are doing , I never infalte a tire to the max listed on the sidewall , it will generally wear the center of the tire out when set this way
generaly I run about 75% of the max pressure , but for traction & will often lower the rear pressure to 22 lbs or so but this will give away some cornering ablility
