I would use the same recommended pressure as your stock 185/55R15 tires. Unfortunately as this is an inch up you would need to find the right balance and sometimes it could be tricky. The range of being ok is extremely huge. So as long your tire is not off 5 psi + or - you are safe.

i been putting one psi higher then stock psi, so far couldn’t feel any difference la.

how to say is the right balance haha

When you dont feell anything at all then balance is right smile.gif

i recently switch the rear and front tyre around, same psi as before but can feel the steering vibrating a lot anything above 120km h.
i'm assuming i need to do the balancing of my tires again ?

When you rotate, did you not balance it?

Steering vibration could mean a lot of other things but since you rotate it just before might be worth to check it out.

no, didn’t balance as the tyre shop told me if no vibration then no need to do balancing

When rotate it is better to at least do balancing for the front tires first, everytime i do rotate i will ask to check or do balancing for the front the cost is not much some only RM5~10/pcs.
*
oh i see, then i will get it balance this weekend before the long drive next week haha

thanks for the info

Not knowing the Load Index of both of your stock and replacement tyres, I think you should be fine and safe.

2pcs is fine. front or back depend ur familiarity with car

actually any difference if put behind rather then front ?


QUOTE(amscouzach57 @ Jan 10 2023, 07:59 AM)
If your wheel setup is not staggered, put the 2 new tyres at the rear, & bring the old rear tyres to the front.

may i know why you recommend doing so ?

UC7 should be quieter than VP4 but performance wise VP4 is better. VP4 is same category as CPC7 and Primacy 4.

i see, currently using goodyear assurance triple max 2. quite noisy
