And why those suggestions?
I've just fitted 4 new Falkens to my 1850.
Apparently one of my powder coated wheels has a slight wobble, I was advised to stick this on the back.
Can't wait to try the car in the damp!

28psi all round. Why, well that's what I've used for over ten years on my Sprint and what my son used on his 1850. Modern tyres work better at higher pressures than originally in the Triumph recommendations. Start at that and you can experiment. I'm sure others will have other thoughts......

The car did many miles today (all in the dry, must be a first for Scotland this year) and no tyre squealing, car felt really good and solid.
Hopefully we'll have some rain tomorrow (did I really say that?).

At last some rain today
The car behaved perfectly on the wet roads, no problems at all, all pressures at 28psi.
