The Tyre Pressure Thread

[Weyro]

Thought it would be good to find out what pressures people are running, and what handling characteristics they portray,

Tyres: Uniroyal Rainsport 2

Size: 195/50/15

Pressures Front/Rear: 32/32

Handling Mods: Tein Lowering springs, Front strut brace.

Car handles reasonably well, maybe slightly on the oversteery side.

Tyres: Goodyear eagle f1 GSD3s

Size : 195/45/15

Mods: coilovers, c pillar brace, rear upper brace. Rear arb, floor brace, front upper brace, fast road set up

I run them at 32 all round, handles beautifully couldn't ask for better handling

[Matt1878]

Tyres: Toyo proxies

Size : 195/45/15

Pressures: 33/33 ( I only do this as tyres loose approximately 1.2psi in the first 20 miles or so after being topped up) so runs around 32/32

Mods : Tein springs, oem front strut, oem rear strut

[The Toffinator]

32/32 Front and rear Uniroyal rainsport 2s, Tanabe shocks and springs, Cusco upper rear brace and standard front.

Car handles well, lots and lots of grip but slightly rolly at times

[Dave D Glanza V]

tyres: prada spec 2s

size: 195/50/15

pressures: 30 rear 31 front

mods: tein mono flex, anti lift, arb 22mm front, adjustable rear on middle setting, cusco carbon struts, cusco lower arm bar, cusco 6point cage, trd diff, full polybush, race geometry set up

handles very well grips like crazy, tyre wear very even other then alote of wear to outside of passenger side tyres due to very hard cornering and too many roundabouts

very slight oversteer when wet, understeer when being brave when dry.

Tyres: Uniroyal Rainsport 2

Size: 195/50/15

Pressures Front/Rear: 35/34psi

Handling Mods: (EP91 NA) Meisters, Whiteline 24mm FARB, Whiteline fixed RARB, Whiteline ALK, OEM front brace, Cusco Rear Brace

I run slightly higher pressures to avg around 40mpg, but it still handles very very well.

Dropping them to 33/32 the handling is amazing for what the car is, but I can see the benefit that would be achieved by running tyres with a slightly harder sidewall (I believe the Rainsports have a soft wall the way they look quite flat usually!)
