tyre psi

[mark10101]

hi all what do people think is best tyre pressure in everyday road use? thanks

 

[CaLi]

the answer to life minus 10

 

[Erm]

32

 

[dc5-2ltr]

yup,32

 

[Mark_teg]

It's a personal preference type thing..
Mine are 32 front, 29 rear.

 

[dc55_11]

I have 32 front 30 rears works great for me

 

[scottj15]

I do 33 front, 32 rear but as said its personal preference

 

[coyote_dc5]

Yeah I aim for 32 F&R when cold

 

[wj51fut]

32 front
30 rear

I'm running AD08's though. Different tyres will matter for tyre pressures. Always check when stone cold too. Not after a motorway run.

cheers guys i normally run 32 front and 30 rear but bought 4 new tyres and was just wondering

 

[Sylar122]

For Goodyear Eagle F1 as2's would 32 F&R be best?

 

[Crazylegs]

I normally run 32 front and 30 rear.

If travelling a far distance or on a motorway then I generally opt for 35 front 32 rear as you get improved economy.

cheers mate, good info is 32 F and 30 R best for performancing (track e.c.t) sorry to thread jack lol

I was thinking about this earlier. I have always had 33F and 32R. After a drive though the fronts can be about 35 or so, shouldn't these be 33/32 ideally when warm?

On track atleast most seem to aim for 33/32 hot so why not on the road? I've dropped mine to 32F and 31R to closer reach the 33/32.

I think it depends on your driving habits, and the circumstances. On track using AD08's at Bedford Autodrome i found 32/32 to give me good traction, i think i had to lower approx 13 psi over the course of the day to keep those figures, 33/32 may have been better and increased steering response but ive always gone with 32/32, and in those circumstances i think 33/32 would have just induced more understeer.

32/32 acheived the best heat distribution across the width of the tire (ie not over or under inflated), however the inside was approx 4 degree C hotter than the outside of the contact patch when measured with my temp gun, so increasing the negative camber further would have increased traction even more meaning i could have pushed harder which would probably have upped the temperature thus increasing the pressure so possibly could have lowered the psi even further to acheieve 32/32.

Hope that made sense, food for thought :wacko:

Edit, ha confused myself with that statement, the temp was higher on the outside than the inside
