| Haha, first suggestion is to run the same pressures on the same axle, at the very least. ![]() I think tyre pressures are a personal thing, and it is surprising what a difference to handling air pressure can make. I usually run my tyres at around 38psi. That may be too high for some, but I don't mind it. The best advice really, is experiment, find a setting you like and then check regularly (once/twice a fortnight) to ensure your pressures are being maintained. This should ensure better tyre life, even wear, and possibly even yield a small improvment in fuel economy. |

| i would rather do the opposite, 38 at the front and 40 back. Simply because our car tends to understeer (a lot) by itself... and as a general rule, if you put more pressure in the front than in the back you'll just increase this behaviour. ![]() |
