tyre pressures

Would anyone know the recommended tyre pressures for my Minor's tyres (Goodyear Grand Prix S 145/14) please? Thanks.

24 to 28 depends on your driving and how you like the tyres

You have still got Grand Prix S?? PLEASE where can I get some?
24 PSI all round seems to suit them
I'm down to my last legal mm on Firestones, after that it is Outer Mongolian donkey cart tyres

Already on when I bought the car. I'll ask Mark the previous owner where he got them from. He's up in Lancs.

Mine are 22 all round, maybe thats wrong....

Very low ! I run my 155s at 30 - and indeed 38 last week-end when I had a spare engine + box in the back - and they still got quite hot to touch!

As long as they are the same on each axle the Minor is fairly tolerant of any reasonable tyre pressure.

Previous owner Mark tells me they are scarily old! Wish I'd never asked now, I feel like I should be changing them, but they are so nice looking. Proper rich black rubber, just like tyres used to be. I put 25psi in today (they were on about 18) and noticed a handy improvement in low speed manoeuvring…

i use 28,i think tyres seem to be a bit of an issue,bull motiff have a few bridgstones,but the camacs dont seem to be available, i think the club needs to do something to get some more tyres into the system.i have emailed bridgstones but have had no response.

If you put the Bridgestone contact details up here Dale we could all have a go. I certainly would.

How.

Most tyres places will get 145's for you but tend to be dearer than the specialists.
