Not the usual tyre post lol

Halfords were doing a reasonable deal on standard GeolanderA/T's so as my Jimny needed a couple on the back I ordered them.
Despite booking in it was at least an hour before I got the car back.
I only drove it home a few miles through town.
My wife came back an hour ago after using it and said the steering was light.
I got the tyre gauge out and any guesses on the pressures??
Only 38psi all round:ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:
It's not the first time I have had this and the last time was a genuine Suzuki dealer.
Why don't they actually check the correct tyre pressures???
Needless to say they got 1 star on my feedback!!

Wow, that beats the 34psi that Blackcircles set mine to and I thought they were rock hard!

That reminds me, I set them to 30psi for a fully loaded trip a month ago and haven't remembered to drop them down at all, thought things were a bit bouncy!

What are you running yours at?

Standard 23 front 26 rear.
I very rarely change the rear as I don't use the rear seats. I never changed them with my small caravan and didn't notice any difference.

My neighbour very nearly put her Jimny into the scenery due to the clowns at her garage over-inflating the tyres - needless to say she went back and gave them some serious one-way conversation on tyre pressures :lol:

Halfords are actually doing a very good deal on the Geolanders.

Got two for the front, half thinking of changing the 50% worn michelans to them. They're quite grippy and roll quiet enough on the road.

I did have to tell them to only put 23psi in them. I did hear the mechanic/fitter comment to a colleague "why does he want 23 in them" so I'm glad I did otherwise they'd have put them rock hard.

When I had my new tyres fitted last week I set them there and then in front of the tyre fitter before I drove it inside for its tracking. I had asked him but he hadn't done it.

They all seem to do it! I've just got used to getting the gauge out and letting air out no matter which car I've had tyre work done on.

It's not good for those not in the know though.
