Re: tyre pressures?
Interesting - I run mine much lower: 24-26psi (cold) usually.
This is on recommendation from the Irish rally lads and does seem to work.

Re: tyre pressures?
on a 5 this would work if your giving them a lot of pain and warming them up, but on a 4.5 they would move around a lot!GraemeC wrote:Interesting - I run mine much lower: 24-26psi (cold) usually.

thank you all. will probably settle for 28 all round and experiment a bit up and down, front to rear....... unless of course anyone convinces me their way is best and only way to go!

but will not give any details as to why... You will just be expected to
trust them.
It ain't me - But I run mine at 30 all round, the same as I do on the MiniNifty wrote:![]()

with 165/60/12 Yoko 539's.
This way I only have to remember ONE number. I am a bit dim sometimes!
(Cue "selective quoting" here...)
You haven't said what geometry you are using... If you have "different"
camber and/or toe, this will have quite an affect. For too long on my Mini
I was running the rear vertical and parallel. In the wet on shit tyres it
over-steered scarily. (The latest Falken ZE912's).

A 20thou shim each side to give a small amount of toe-in and a pair of
539's at the back made a huge difference. My underpants are no longer
brown.

a great tyre, but they are quite expensive for 'normal' road use
