What is the optimum tyre pressure for fuel economy?
Hello everyone,
I used to own a car with 17 inch wheels and in the owners manuel it said that 38 PSI was the best pressure for economy.
I now own a car with 15 inch wheels and I have been over inflating all 4 tyres to 38 psi.
I 38 psi optimum for fuel economy? making the tyres have more rolling resistance with a higher psi?
What is the optimum for a 15 inch tyre?
I saw a myth busters episode and they said 30 psi was best.
Or does it depend on the wheel and tyre size?
Any help is much appreciated thank you
