I went to put some air in the tyres yesterday because they looked a little low and they were at 37 on the front and closer to 40 on the back already!
What pressure are they supposed to be at, I know it's a heavy car but I've always had 32-34 in all my cars previously.

....Would also explain that floaty feeling you've had.
I mean the car - not you fella, unless you
have had a floaty feeling?

i remember reading a thread about tyre pressures on here.....think it was before the hack
i seem to recall something like it was ok to run the 406 at 40 psi without too much a risk and it helps your fuel economy quite a bit
but i might be wrong on this
