simply stunning photograph. cant get enough of this snap. rudra, sorry for going slightly OT here, but i think you need to get the 'high security IND' number plates for your ambassador. will greatly enhance the looks, and it will be mandatory someday anyways.

Yes, sounds like a good idea. Thanks a lot. It'll be done soon.

Hi Guys,

I have Ikon Flair with neo alloys , I ensure the tyre pressure on all tyres is 30psi.

Considering i drive alone most.

I heard my friends saying that in case of using alloys , its better to have higher psi i.e. 35 to aviod any possible damage to alloys?.

Could experts or sr. folks suggest the right way?

Thanks in advance

Well, your friend is not correct. There is no direct correlation to PSI and alloy damage. Moving from 30psi to 35psi is suicidal. Higher psi's are recommended for high speed driving for extended periods, even then you can increase it only by 2 psi or so.

Alloys are much lighter in weight compared to the steel rims and is supposed to give you a better cosmetic look to a large extent.

I am not an expert, thats what i know. Maybe Iragahava can comment better.

I don't think inflating up to 35 psi will do you any good. Not only will it give you a bumpy ride but it might even lead to uneven tyre wear due to over-inflation.

As for the alloy damage yes, the chances are reduced with over inflated tyres but remember even with 35psi if you drive stupidly and go into a big pothole at high-speed, it can still damage the alloy. It all depends on how bad a hit you have.

In short, I wouldn't recommend it.

I agree with mobike008 that, you are not suppsoed play with psi like that for alloys. Its funny some people follow that....Its very bad practise.....

Thanks mobike008, iraghava,

I am city driver and chances of my rash driving is very less. In btw at times i do hit some pathholes but I am sure that it would not do the damage at speeds below 60kmph or even less.

In any case i ll stick to my 30psi and drive good...
