2016-11-30 - im running uniroyal expert 3 195/65/15 H ,they are rated @ max 32 psi.my car runs tire pressure of 35 psi so i find the already soft sidewall like driving on jelly.i know uniroyal do this tire in XL so harder sidewalls but i cant use them as they are only T speed rated.my question is if i use the expert 3 195/65/15 V that has a max psi of 40,will it firm up the sidewalls? lots of talk, online Just up the pressure from 32psi to 38 psi.so over the recommended max pressure !!( im not doing that thanks).also some saying dont run tires with more psi that the car manufacture recommends..this seems to be a problem across all tire makes so something is amiss in the world of wobbly tires. but what is the answer? regards Tim
We put this question to Continental directly, and here's their answer.
Firstly the correct inflation pressure that should be used is the one given on the vehicle information plate or in the vehicle handbook for the load being carried. If the vehicle is specified on 'Standard load' tires then fitting 'extra load' is not necessary and in any case if the laden weight remained the same then broadly the same inflation pressure* should be used and no noticeable difference is likely to be felt. If inflation pressure is increased then this can give the feeling of a 'stiffer' sidewall but having a tire 'over inflated' distorts the casing profile, reduces the contact area and can negatively affect handling and the feel of the vehicle.
The reason that having a more flexible sidewall may be becoming more talked about is because of the modern components used in the tire in order to improve the efficiency, and help lower the fuel consumption and CO of the vehicle. Modern development goals include a low Hysteresis in the flexing zone of the tire sidewall which reduces the energy absorption in this area thus improving the tire's rolling resistance while at the same time ensuring durability and abrasion resistance. However although this may result in the 'feel' of a more flexible sidewall the handling, durability and other performance characteristics are still maintained. Another factor with this is that in many cases the fact full tread depth tires are being fitted in place of well worn tires would, even if the same tires were being fitted, result in the vehicle feeling a little less precise due to the inevitable pattern movement on a tire with deep tread depth.
* Technically there is a small difference in the recommended pressure between standard and extra load tires for the same load.
2016-11-02 - Uniroyal RainExpert 3 - Is there a right and left tire or are they all the same?
The Uniroyal RainExpert 3 is an asymmetric tire, so there is no left or right fitment, just and outside and inside for mounting on the wheel.
2017-10-01 - Are uniroyal rain expert load 98 ok for a vivario van
As long as the size and load rating matches the OE specification then the tire is suitable.
