What tyre pressure?

[owain182]

I'm running Nankang NS2Rs on 15" OZ F1s. What tyre pressure should I be going for?

I'm doing a trackday tomorrow too, so will probably knock it down a couple of psi for that.

Thanks

30psi hot, start at about 24-25 depending on how hard you drive and knock it back from there.

Seconded

Thanks both.

What should I be using on the road?

 

[Djw John]

32 front 29 rear cold

Do you run that in front and rears

You'll want about 30 psi hot all round and if you start with about 24 front and 26 rear and then do a few laps and come in check tyre pressures and adjust to 30 psi, I tend to have the rears a little more than fronts as they don't get as hot (I find that anyway other people might be different, mine is stripped out in the rear and I don't carry much fuel)

Yeah as above really, I have seen the Yokohama a048r's being used as high as 50psi on the rear of FWD cars to get the rear moving around in one make championships at knockhill.

Sorry to bump but thought it easier than starting a new post. Got Uniroyal Rain Sport 3s on and wondering what pressure I should be running. They're on 37 on the front and 34 on the rear but I thought 30psi would be about right?

I had the rainsports and did find running higher pressure improved them. They felt crap at the 'normal' pressures. Does the car feel ok?

 

[j4mes-c]

Handles better than it did on the old budget tyres. I might drop them to 30 and see how I feel and try 33 or so if necessary

Yeah just play about. Be amazed at how different pressures help
