Hi, I'm running 215 / 40 / 17s all round, Goodyear Eagle F1s GSD3s... what tyre pressures should I be running?

Cheers

about 33psi I think... well thats what I run with the same size tyres

Also roughly 2 psi less in the back compared to the front but I run the same as I like the car slightly looser.

I have some team dynamics on at the moment with 205/40 17. I need some new tyres for them. Can i put 215/40 17s on?
wheels are et38 team dynamics pro race 1.2

Yea, they'll fit fine!

not sure about scrubage though with the extra tyre width?

Ive opted for the 205s as i have spacers sso i think they will be a better option. Yokohama parada spec 2s £220 delivered set of four

I run 30 in the front and 28 in the rears, any more and the center of the tyre wears more than the sides.
