I've just fitted a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE001 tyres on 17" wheels. My tyre shop recommends 46 psi and the handbook says 32. So I thought I'd ask what pressures those of you with 17" wheels are running?
Initial thoughts after a few kms is that the steering feel is noticeably improved and the tyre noise on smooth roads is actually reduced compared to the standard 16" Goodyear Excellence(!) tyres. The tyres do thump more over cats eyes, etc. but they are lower profile, performance tyres. I'll take it easy for a few hundred km to allow the tyres to bed in, or at least I'll try to do so!
