Re: Re Setting tyre pressures

Not sure how to respond individually to all but the last post, so thoughts on the two questions raised above: Insurance: Very good question @Nuclear Nick.

Re: Re Setting tyre pressures

Guys as an ex tyre designer and test driver I thought I would put together a bit of general info on tyre pressures to hopefully help in these discussions. Tyres have both a Load Index that translates to the maximum load that the tyre can carry at specified inflation pressures and a Speed Symbol that...

Re: Bose vs Burmester

Means when you want a lower gear for acceleration then it needs to go down 3...
