Pump 220 to 230 will do anything higher will not be good. Tis was recommended by a tyre shop tat I did my high speed balancing. Pump too much air den tyre will not give best result. Used to pump 240 for all. Now 220 enough cos I using UHP tyres.

i oso 240 both front n rear... since doing this..my fc increase from 11plus to current 12.8km per L drive... constantly every tank at 12.6 - 12.8km/L range..
its individual.. as long i drive normal speed w good driving habit... 240 front n rear no problem at all.
200-240 is too heavy on fc for me...
i recommended all bros to try few times of 200, 220 n 240 for 2-3 weeks each... then know ur best suitable psi to pump for own driving habit...
listening to others is only a reference!

Kumho does have a softer sidewall. For that price, i think it is ok as wet and dry is good.
What Kenny says is true, need to rotate tires regularly. Mine is negative camber, and also due to driving habits, the front is worn after 4 months or so of light usage.
Bro, it serve u well cuz you say only A to B driver mah.
Think will go for noisy Dunlop D101z for next change.
Anyway, regular check and pump tire and not having a underinflated tyre on the road is the best one can do.
I see people just drive and drive, tire sag so much also cannot be bothered.

Pardon me for my stupidity. I saw on news before in China, some "smart" workshop mechanic should have overpumped teh tires till it burst, CCTV footage captured that he flew from the place he squat to pump the air. That made me feel alittle jittery when I go top-up my Tire Pressure.
Mine is 205/55R16; pump 230,230 front and back
