what tyre pressure do people run with stock 7j 14 wheels and I think 205 70 tyres, they may be 195 70 but as it is way past midnight here I am not walking to the workshop to check, 1972 3.0CSL with sport Bilsteins

If you have the standard wheels then what does the owner’s manual say? I always go on the full load pressures on any car with standard wheels.

I have 30 all round on 195/70/14 tyres /alloys, during the summer

And

Over the winter months in storage , I put 35 all round, as they lose air over the 5,6,7 months in storage

Yeah it would "roll real nice... but I expect it will wear like crazy along the center of the tread, suggesting traction would not be present. This has to be a yank. You can't catch fish if you don't go fishing...

Of course, I thought for sure that I would get a lot more of WTF I run 30-32 in the tires As far as putting the pressure to the full load pressure marked on the tires is a no no That pressure is required by law for the tire manufactures to let you know what the tires can do running at a certain sustained load at a specific pressure

But, Chris, it does roll real easy at those pressures Ha Ha
