Newbie question on tyre pressures...

Are all tyres created equal? What pressure should I run in my 10" radials?

I do apologise if this has been asked before, but I did search the forum first.

I think you should start with a pressure and drive on it for a while. If the ride is too bumpy then let 1 or 2 psi out and see how it goes. That's what I did and I settled on 30f, 28r.

I find that this pressure isn't too bumpy and it wears my tyres evenly across the tread.

My tyres are 165/70R10 Yokohama A008's.

Whoops, apparently I can't search...

So 30 on front and 28 on rear seems to be the general message. Thanks!

Im going to start with 30/28 and trial 28/26 like i use in my other big cars, dependant on the side wall characteristics of the small tyres.
