Shurup Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 As transam said, we aren't talking about race cars and race tracks. Maybe warpspeed's recommendations are applicable to the tracks but not for everydays use. By the way, did you know that a racecar spelled the same backwards?

Think you have lost the plot and REALLY don't understand what we are talking about. IF YOU think every one in LOS drives a pickup or SUV to pick your corn then you should get out more. This motoring forum is about trying to provide helpful facts NOT, OH you Isuzu LOOKS heavy, wack 60 psi in the tyres, it's about providing CORRECT info. .

899cc Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I've followed parts of this topic as I have a vested interest, I'm still trying to confirm V-Cross recommended pressures ... may have the answer tonight. Jesus ... do what the manufacturer says ... if he updates his information, in the light of experience then follow the new recommendation ... this forum has a lot of idiots in it and some clearly dangerous!!

JAS21 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 OK ... a little bit of info ... according to Tri-Petch Bangkok there is not an update on recommended tyre pressures for the V-Cross coming out. Now, below I upload a scan from the All-New Isuzu D-Max Manual ... I have an english copy. I had to retype the Vehicle model as the book wouldn't open far enough to copy well. It's clear that different tyre sizes/tyre types/models etc command different tyre pressures. I hope that this clarifies things a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not ask them to write in your instruction manual to ignore the manufactures recommendations and run with different pressures and state the pressure AND put dealer stamp and sign. Should be interesting ... loss of face to change mind v not wanting to take responsibility by confirming in writing ...

Kwasaki Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 From what have read it all seems a bit silly, maybe it is the heat here affecting people, tyre pressures for a truck ain't rocket science, at a glance of speed reading posts someone pointed out about the sticker on the inner closure of the drivers door with the manufactures recommendations, well whoopee. So when you come to a PTT garage which most has those pressure guage machines or you can do by yourself with a pressure guage it really isn't that difficult. I run my tyres softer for comfort I couldn't give a toss what people say I do what I want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafumo Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 As the topic is about tyre pressures. In my opinion yes in this country people do over inflate gyres. Just put a new set of boots on my Vigo . The original Michelin cross Terains were worn out in the middle due to over inflation . I work away for months at a time , so not easy to control pressures when the Missus has the ute.this new set of yokohamas I am going to keep a close eye on the pressures .

mafumo Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Currently running 29 PSI all round , so far happy with that . No loosing the rear on sand on tar when you boot it . Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafumo Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yeah at the end of the day , different people will have different experiences with tyres in their lives and therfore we all have different opinions on what tyre pressures to run in different vehicles for yet again different road conditions and different tyre makes .

Kwasaki Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Maybe there's an alien removing stuff. Never mind obsession there seems to be some over sensitively here. 25 psi all round in a car is is good for the bumpy Thailand roads, if your not loaded do it on a truck as well if your not going carry loads or blast it everywhere. I like you new avatar " warbie " you look aggressive like a white " Darth Vader " woosah. K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carib Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 "Do Thais Have An Obsession About Overinflated Car Tires?" That was the subject of the topic. I now have come to the conclusion that some of TV members share this obsession. Now 4 pages and some, or maybe even a lot of postings removed probably due to their under or overinflated nature. (just guessing). Can anybody tell me if the 4WD in the video has the right tire pressure, that car sure has a lot of members, or should I say inspectors following it to find out. TV came to mind immediately. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLZWY13ahyo&feature=g-pets&context=G2f749a9CAAAAAAAAaAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David006 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 geesh what a lot of ranting and rambling ....maybe Thais just read the max rated pressure and comprehend it as the correct pressure for the vehicle? For my part run my old light truck tyres at anywhere between 25 and 50 PSI according to the load and surface.. .if you google this subject one finds there are so many different opinions out there...may as well discuss tread pattern, types of suspension,shocks yadda yadda, advantages and disadvantages! Don't really believe that there is a panacea for every application or driving condition but using vehicle manufactures' cold recommendations within a few PSI, since ambient temperatures vary, would seem the way to go for everyday driving. http://tyres.theaa.com/Tyre-Pressure (British AA) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transam Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 All tyre pressures ''advised'' by a particular vehicle manufacturer for a ride and a particular tyre design are painstakingly achieved and regardless what ''you'' want to do with pressures the most important fact is the MAX pressure you can put in a particular tyre which is marked in big letters on the tyre side wall. And remember that is a COLD reading as the pressure will increase as the tyre gets hot. It does not mean you can blow it up to the MAX pressure on your ride. New motors are stored at the max pressure to avoid flat spots and should be set to the correct pressure on initial pre-delivery check.. Most tyres on new Thai pickups are from the same manufacturers and vehicles are similar weights so l would expect tyre pressures to be similar, around 30 psi. Really like to hear from a particular poster to show me a car or light truck that uses 50 to 60 psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
