Default Tyre pressures

What should the tyre pressures be on 17" wheels (rota slipstreams in this case) with eagle f1's. From reading the FAQ it suggests 34 psi all round instead of 32psi as on potenzas. Is this correct, only they tyres on my new wheels were 31 at the front and 30 at the back so I went with 34psi all round but it seemed to set off the ABS fairly easily today. is 34psi too much?

If you look at the tyres they should tell you the maximum PSI ratings on then , prob 44PSI.

If the size you have is the replacemt size/rr to the 16's then you would keep the same PSI. If you are not sure ask Goodyear they will be able to help you

For road use start at 32 psi all round.

Observe the tyres as they start to wear and the handling when in press on mode.
Inflate by 1 psi if wear pattern suggests underinflation etc etc (sure you can work it out). Go no more than +/- 2psi from manufacturer recommended pressure. It's an offence to drive a car with incorrect tyre pressures on the road.
