Title: tyre pressures Post by: smurf67 on August 20, 2008, 11:56:10 am Not sure if this is really in the correct place but I have been looking at some of the cars on here and noticed that the majority seem to have more pressure in the rear tyres than me. I HAVE 205 65's and just wondered what everyone thought i should run at, many thanks Alex

Scwhimmer and I were just having this conversation at Nick's, earlier this month. My car handles and rides good, but I'm gonna take his advice and lower the pressure on the front tires.

Humm, I was running 30 psi in my 145s per the Muir book. Wonder if that may have contributed to the squirrelly handling at highway speeds. --louis Title: Re: tyre pressures Post by: Rennsurfer on August 20, 2008, 15:23:21 pm Humm, I was running 30 psi in my 145s per the Muir book.

Our cars have no weight on the front wheels, so it makes sense. I'm gonna give it a try and see if there's any improvement.

I will give that a try once its back together. --louis Title: Re: tyre pressures Post by: javabug on August 20, 2008, 17:04:53 pm I run about 19, maybe 20 psi in my 145s, and feel that is why I have not had many scary moments with braking on my skinnies.
