#1: tyre pressure Author: kizza93, Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2012 1:27 pm ---- what tire pressure should i be using i have low profile tyres 205/40/r17
#2: Re: tyre pressure Author: anton1989, Location: west midlandsPosted: Sun Dec 23, 2012 3:33 pm ---- i use 33
#3: Re: tyre pressure Author: novatron1_2, Location: fifePosted: Sun Dec 23, 2012 4:06 pm ---- have a play using the standard pressure, higher pressures give an increase in handling until a pint when the tyre's contact patch is reduced

Regardless of wheel size? If you have the standard wheel that come woth the car it says on the car in the door part where the paint code is

Does it?? Must have been doing it wrong all those times with lower pressure to increase in grip/handling
#9: Re: tyre pressure Author: bezford, Location: darlingtonPosted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 7:13 am ---- 32-34all day long.
#10: Re: tyre pressure Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 8:16 am ---- 23 fronts 25 rears
#11: Re: tyre pressure Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 9:52 am ---- 72 psi
#12: Re: tyre pressure Author: bezford, Location: darlingtonPosted: Tue Dec 25, 2012 5:35 am ---- Howay stop pixxin about its 32 to 34...sorry for the lack of humour because sayin 25 and 72 must of been a joke..ha ha...not.

Where? Do all tyre manufacturers make 1 size of tyre to fit 1 make and model of vehicle?
You're getting confused with the maximum pressure marking.

Part of it says:
How does a tuner manipulate tire loading and slip angle? By tweaking the spring rates, anti-roll bar rates, tire sizing and pressure, and to a lesser degree, the shock damping. The first option a tuner has is to increase the tire pressure. The harder a tire is inflated, within reason, the smaller slip angle it develops. In the case of a nose-heavy front-wheel-drive car, if you add several psi to the front tires and take some pressure out of the rear, the front tires will run a smaller slip angle while the rear tires' slip angle will increase. This alone can do quite a bit to reduce understeer.
So it's saying you can make the back 'looser' by running less pressure and make the front grip better by running more pressure.
#16: Re: tyre pressure Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Thu Dec 27, 2012 6:05 pm ---- Having lower pressure means more contact with the road. Start low because once the tyres get warm increase in pressure due to heat will go to a optimum pressure. I run 23 front because I know it will end up at 26 psi
Running higher than that and it will increase even more and will overheat the tyre loosing grip and ruining the tyre
