What psi? Fully stripped 172.

As per title with standard wheels and suspension?

Should I let some out?

Thanks

I'd say no, never heard of anyone lowering tyre pressures to compensate for stripping.

Why no? The recommended pressures are from factory weights, the car weighs less than it should.

31 front 27 rear works well. Can even run 30/ 26 if its warm.

Will make the rear much less twitchy.

Thought so mate.

Back end is all over the shop running normal pressures in the rears.

thanks

Seems like a funny old game to judge thats all, at the end of the day a few psi over is better than under, in terms of tyre wear etc.

Do you not have different pressures for different scenarios stated in the RenaultSport booklet like with the 197?

Cant find my hand book mate.

What I do remember thought is my old 997 (a big time rear heavy car) had 40+ psi in the rears and 29 psi fronts. So weight is a factor. I just thought I'd ask around on here.
