Can anyone tell me the correct pressure for 165-60-R12's.

They are on Minilites I bought, but the pressures were all different, asked two garages and kwik fit say 26 and nationwide say 34 !

Cheers

Matt

28 front, 26 rear is usually the best setup for me.

Whatever works best for you and your car really. You need pressures a little higher at the front because you have most of the weight there and the pressures a little lower at the rear to give you some grip as you've got very little weight at the back.
