Anyone running 205/50/17's on there tiger?
I've got this size fitted on my super 6 and I have no clue as to what PSI I should be running these with.

Crickey Trev, that's low. I thought it would have been a bit more than that.

same here Ade , tyres 195/50/15 front & back .
You have to think about the weight of the car ave 600Kg
And 18psi cold will go up to 20ish when hot .
rear spring/ damper settings come into as well .

I'm another on 195/50/15 running at 18psi all round. ( CSC recommended this pressure to me.)
Cheers

18 psi all round here too although I suspect they might still be a bit 'full'

I tried 16psi on 195/55 14 and it drove fine but tyres looked a bit
squashed. back to 18 now.

Mine are probably around 18psi now as they looked flat'ish hence asking.

I was just thinking , 195/50/15 is the standard size for the tiger , so to keep the same circumference on 17" wheels you need a lower profile ie 40 or 45 .
Clive has 17" wheels on his , also you get a harder ride with low profile tyres some of the damping is through the tyre on these cars .
Do you have an electronic speedo ?
You can set these for different wheel/tyre combos , I think .

Don't think it's electronic, but when I picked it up and compared speeds to the Saab cab I went in they were nigh on the same at 30, 50, 70 and a little more as that was one of my concerns

But don't forget, that tyre on a normal car would be around 30psi and on tigger its 18psi. So the rolling radiance is smaller due to being very low psi and maybe like running 45 profile anyway.

Im Sooooooo sorry guys, im running a 40 profile all round hence why speedo was correct. Just thought I better say before it got confusing with me putting 50 not 40, my fat fingers, lol
