hi I have cav slabs with 195/50/15 tyres running 34psi but am getting wear on the outer edges of the front tyres, backs seem ok at 34psi but the front obviously need more ..... does anyone know the correct pressure for the front? (its a 1.4 if that makes any difference)

I thought you would want it lower then that more like 32 on the front, 30 on the back

over-inflation is usually the cause of wear in the center of the tyres, not the edges. So better get your tracking done.

I put 32/30 in them when I 1st got them on but they looked flat(ish) at the bottom so upped them to 34 all round (have a large install so back needs to be higher) back is fine now but as i say the front still looks a little flat and is wearing on the edges

never had 50 profile before as previously ran low pro's on my old wheels

OK I will have that checked as it has been about a year since I have had it done ....
would changing the wheels put it out? as tracking was done when I was still running daft 17's

it shouldn't do as they usually track it at the track rod end.

But if it's been a year and you're saying it's wearing on the edges, either you're ragging it around corners too quick or you need your tracking looked at.
