whilst none of my business I would be asking Michelin, as that pressure is around 15psi less than on the manufactures web site and an insurance company could decline to pay out if an incident occurred ......but what do I know.

They might but they wouldn't as tyre pressures are only recommendations,not written in stone.

I don’t feel that lucky and who is going to win the argument when the insurance company says that the cause of the aquaplaning accident was due to low tyre pressure. That’s not an argument most drivers will win

Interesting train of thought because Continental advised me to use MUCH lower tyre pressures than that - I've kept the email. Considering that tyres are all manufactured to the same industry standard unless Michelin have some specific difference I cannot see why there should be a problem. Has anybody ever heard of an insurance company refusing to pay out because of "normal" tyre pressures causing an accident. Yes I can agree that "low" pressures can be a cause but we're talking of normal road running here. What would the DVSA have to say about it I wonder if stopped for a check?

I've run my Conti winter tyres now at 56psi front and 65psi rear (cold) for over 10 years om a 3850kg Ducato with no signs of incorrect wear or damage. But you'd never catch me with Michelins, had some poor experiences on cars in the past!
