Tyre towing pressures
Does anyone bother putting the tyre pressures up for a couple of hours towing? I was surprised to see its only 4psi , hardly worth the effort of getting the pump out or does that extra 4psi make a difference?

I am obsessed with tyre pressures and absolutely, I adjust them to suit.
(I used to design race tyres; on occasion, tyre pressures were all I had to play with if I wanted to make the car go faster...._ |

I do the pressures, on mine eco and full load are the same. I notice a big difference in economy. Usually check mine every 2 weeks or before any long journeys.

Eco setting is the same as towing and 41 psi according to my handbook which I run all the time. Like Peter it's part of my regular weekly vehicle checks and always before a long journey. Paul. |
