Question Tyre Pressure ?

Hey guys,
I have an 85 XJ-S 3.6 Manual, running on OEM 16in Lattice Alloys - The tyres are Michelin Crossclimate 225/55/R16 99W.
Please can anyone advise tyre pressure? Its usually only me in the car and not too much luggage.

Look forward to hearing back

I just checked mine and I've got 35 in the front and 36 in the rear. Due to weather, that's probably an increase from whatever I set the pressures at last time I messed with them a couple of months ago. I haven't fine tuned my tire pressures through experimentation like I have with my other car, but what I'm running now seems to be working just fine for now. I'm running 225/60R16 Kumhos on mid 90s eleven spoke 16x7 wheels.

The guide book for my '90, 3.6 manual on 15 inch tyres says 34(F) psi and 36(R) psi but can reduce by up to 8 psi for maximum comfort for speeds < 100 mph. As I don't get above the ton much these days(!) I have been using 26 / 28 but I might experiment with higher pressures now.

What do others use?

Cheers,
LeeP
