New tyre day

[pluc99]

I have my cross climates at 50 as they were wearing too much on the outer portion of tread...at 50 they are better but not completely even on the fronts - raising the fronts to 53 to see if this improves things

Isn't that above the maximum pressure rating of the tire? It is on my 235/55/R17CC2s but maybe you have a different size tire?

Not sure - I looked, but there appears to be no max. pressure stated on the tyre. They are load rated 103 and speed rated Y. 235/55/17.

I will get a new pressure gauge and reassess the pressures.

The Goodyear vector gen 3 suv are stamped max 3.4bar or 49.3psi.

Agree. Most my driving is small twisty roads. I take it easy of course. But it is a fairly heavy vehicle on 103 rated tyres. A higher rating would be better.

I looked at the 215 109 load option, however not sure gain much in £/mile saving given they are more expensive, small in the total cost of running a Cali.

I had the higher load rated Agilis Cross Climate on a previous California. Covered around 10,000 miles before the van was sold, but they seemed to be really good and no signs of wear/uneven wear. Maybe i'll switch to them again soon if they are made in the right fitment/size.
