Got my new tyres on today 265 75 16 replacing 30 9.5 15
First run was very bouncy so poped to the garage and as suspected the tyre fitter had put far to much presure in 45psi
So droped them down to 26 ( thanks for the gauge sponnie :-) )
Now its not bouncey but wonders badly on the road

I was thinking that
Seems strange as iv only changed tyre size
How much of a difference do the dampers make ?

Ummm, you haven't put 16" tyres on 15" rims have you? Or did you replace the 15" rims with 16" rims as well as change the tyres?
