Information from Michelin Technical Data of the period.
(s) Recommended increase in pressures for sustained high speed motoring, (Remember there was no speed limit in the U.K. until the 1960's and all fitments were Crossplies) With today's Radial tyres there is no need to advise varying pressures.
* I have confirmed this marked increase in
rear pressures in three separate publications, it coincides
with Triumphs revised rear spring arrangement, and the pressures
are correct.
I was unable to confirm MICHELIN OE listed pressures for thr TR7, consequently this is left blank.
