tyre advice needed
Good evening all. I am having a nightmare trying to buy and maintain tyres for my car. I have a chrysler 300c, with startech wheels on (20s).
Prob 1. Since day one i have had no idea what the correct tyre pressure should be. it had 2.8bar(think thats 41psi) rear, and 2.7bar (39psi) front, when i picked it up so i have maintained this butit does feel a little hard.
Prob 2. The rear tyres are 275 35 20. The front are 245 40 20. Theese front tyres just dont look like they fill the wheel. the tyre wall bit that is meant to blend into the wheel rim looks like its too far in, leaving the wheel rim protruding out wider than the tyre wall. I think the wheels are 9j.
Can i put 275 35 20 all round, or do i need the slightly thinner tyres at the front and if so why. Sorry to have rambled and excuse my non technical terms, but can any one help. I have trawled the web night after night and cant find any answers. Chrysler dont want to know unless i buy my tyres from them, that aint happenin, and kwikfit scratched their head and said try the 275 on the front if it fits put them all round, but then said they wouldnt fit them cos theyre different to whats on there. please somebody help.
kind regards. j
