Hello. First time larger-than-hatchback owner of a '96 GXL and confused about tyre pressure recs on inside door jam panel. There are two stickers with differing pressure recommendations. Is this normal, is one for 'roads' and another for off-road?
To complicate things the previous owner used the car only for highway towing, and it has almost new Yokohama Geolandar H/T "Highway" tyres on it on aftermarket rims at 17" (OEM =16"). According to tiresize.com/pressure-calculator the OEM size 275/7016R and the new wheel/tyre size 275/65/17R says they are basically the same (a few % difference). Does this seem correct?
Can anyone please shed some light on:
1. The two stickers and what I should be setting my pressures at for general road driving?
2. When towing 2.5 tonne horse float should I be upping the rear tyre pressures a bit?
3. Does the similar pressures for OEM vs current wheel/tyre size seem right?
Thanks!
