i just rotated my tryes and checked the tyre pressure. upon doing so i noticed that the pressures ranged between 35- 40 psi. normally i put in 32 psi. what should i be putting in?
the other thing i noticed was that while i had the handbrake on the, the rear drivers side wheel moved freely however the rear passenger side didnt. any1 have a clue why the might be happening?

32 psi all round, cold.
Handbrake? Lever seized, cable stretched, could be any number of things. Pull it apart and see.

Shaken I'm guessing. :P
I'm all for higher than specified tyre pressures, but it reaches a level where tyres become overinflated and causes premature wear in the middle part of the tread on the tyre.

i put up to 40 in all round... 50 seems a bit too high for my liking :confused:

i like fuel economy, they seem to be wearing fine so far. yeah the ride is harsh, but the boat like suspension makes up for some loss of comfort from the tyres
