Tyre Pressures
JPC:
i run mine at about 33 at the front and 31 on the back, dont ask me why, ive not got a clue! ive just done it for years with 18s
sixpot:
As per the recommended handbook pressures, I have mine set at 35 PSI all round. Don't forget to check them when the tyres is cold!
tony_danza:
I vary mine between 33 and 35 depending on the time of year.
clive_gti:
34psi all round for me, might try 36psi to see how it feels
The wheel man:
Im running 2.4 front and 2.5 rear. Once up and running this rises to about 2.5 front and 2.6 rear and its very difficult to tell any difference. What does make a difference is the temp, in this weather the tyres are running at about -1 / -3 in the mornings and only getting upto about 18 / 19 c In the summer this gets upto about 29 and the difference is BIG. My advise it to get the tyres up to temp before using the full handling capabilities :happy2:
