Car was not handling well, found the reason why!

My VR6 converted to a 20vt by previous owner. Well since owning her I thought she did not feel right, not like my VR6 in my av' pic. I did the usual kick on all 4 tyres and all seemed good and looked good, no signs of looking flat. Today I decided just to check what pressure they were running at expecting to see 32-34psi due to being 17's. Front  drivers was 22psi, rear drivers side 18psi, front passenger side 32 psi, rear passenger side 17psi.......So now all at 33psi, what a difference, cant believe I did not check this earlier 

Normally it is visible or to touch, all tyres felt rock solid?  Oh well, all done and sorted now but thought I had to tell!  MPG and speed should be up a bit now

Tyre pressures, fluid level check and a quick visual inspection is something I do weekly religiously.

Same here, but more because I'm paranoid that something's wrong

Christ with it being so cold I check mine once a month.

I have very good quality stainless steel valves, that don't leak as much. But being cold and air smaller it can escape easier.

I normally do mine every 14 days!  Never knew how bad low pressure tyres and out of sync' regarding pressures it would have on the car......Shocking

I would say that 32 is too high!

I have my fronts at 30 and rears at 28

ive got 205/50/R15 and i've always had 38 in mine all way round.

In winter when roads are cold you need higher pressure to get heat in the tyre faster. I run 36 front 32 rear.

Summer I run 32 front 28 rear. Summer you get more heat in them and the air pressure will rise 2/4 pounds.
