These have exactly the same problem with flat spotting overnight particularly if parked with heavy all up weights (80,000 lbs). Feels like the aircraft is shaking irtself to bits roaring down the 2.5kms of runway trying to move 135,000 lbs (refueled) to 200km/h and trying to leap into the air, but you just know that there's no real problem (You just don't wanna know about the fuel consumption!!). Don't feel to agrieved by it. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8086-noisy-tyres/page/2/#findComment-76133 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressures needed are a lot to do with the cars weight and as I have had my car corner weighed and have over 20 years motorsport experience including close connections to works teams , I do know how to work them out.Try what you like but if wear and noise is an issue then you will need the pressures I quoted.Tyre outlets whilst well meaning have little or no idea about tyre pressures. They do know about what tyre they are going to sell yuo next though. They dont dirve the cars they fit tyres to. They certainly dont driven em fast either and are not professional drivers.My experience with pressures comes from dealing with Tyre manufacturers and thier competent competition staff on motorsport events. Now they do know about pressures. 1 PSI in a World rally car can make or break a stage win.
