Good morning to all,
I will put my 4/4 in the garage fore the next 3to 4 months.
Which is the best tyre pressure of my 4 Vredestein sprint classic 165 x 15 tyres while storing for that long period.
I hve always 1.2 BAR pressure while on the road as given in the Morgan handbook.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Best rgds
Herman

I run mine at 25 psi which I make 1.72 bar. I leave it that over winter and move it up and down the garage every now to stop them flat spotting. They've been fine for the last 22 years.

I normally drive mine occiasionally to stop flat spots on the tyres. Go Mog has advice for long winter storage http://www.gomog.com/allmorgan/morganstorage.htmThey talk of 15 psi extra or axle stands

Herman If you can I would advise putting the whole car up on axle stands, this will mean the front suspension will sit lower down and any possible chemical bonding between the king pins and bushes will be out the way on normal road use. Also the tyres will not flat spot, plus you can get under it now and again for some winter cleaning, if you feel up to doing some.

Move it on a regular basis, otherwise 50 psi.
Don't forget to adjust in the spring tho' !
