I had new tyres put on the rear of the FL a few weeks back, and for a while now (a few weeks with hindsight ) I have been thinking of getting new rear shockers as the car was skipping at the back on eneven surfaces and the ride has been generally very harsh.

Anyhow........decided to check the pressures earlier as I do periodically but obviously not often enough and to my horror/relief the rears had 42psi in them

There are two types of muppets in this world....1st being tyre fitters that don't inflate to rec' pressures and 2nd the one's that trust other people

Smooth ride now returned

You were lucky! A friend had his Chevy serviced in the States and they pumped the tyres up to the "max" figure on the tyres. It was undriveable!

I expect he felt like Fred Flintstone, mind you my E91 BMW was like that when driving it on run flats............

you should not only check your tyre pressures, but also your wheelnuts !!

Weird ive just been out with the compressor and done mine,all were down around 2 psi,dont forget to check pressures when tyres are cold.

And the spare (if you've got one )
