Tyre pressures

Post by Silver7 » Thu Feb 18, 2016 11:26 am

Hi All,

Had the car a month or so now and my shell club card points are going well! Any guidance for tyre pressures, do you simply stick with the recommended or can you run them a bit lower? Generally running no luggage, 2 adults and a teenager on 20s on pirellis, and drc

Thanks in advance

I'm on Winter Contis and run a couple of PSI lower which positively affects both grip in cold and slightly improves ride compliance

Thanks, that's what I was thinking, maybe 35 front and 32 rear?
