..I have em and keep tyres at 28 front 26 rear.. seams fine to me .. foxy52

30 front 28 rear.

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

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!

i'm running a set of 5s......

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!

There IS someone on here that will TELL you that their way is the best,
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 Mini
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.

Run AVONS then you can ignore tyre pressures as they grip far better than yoko's

the CR6ZZ is the historic pattern

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