Tyre pressure question....

Billy · Post by **Billy** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 8:23 pm

What to run pressure wise in my 8MR

18x9 - 235/40/18

it feels a bit arse happy when hard cornering and when braking hard feels like the back end wants to come round, I have had the 4 wheel alignment and new Goodyear eagle F1 A2's

Think I'm running 32/32 in nitrogen that to much?

I would say that the pressure is fine; maybe the bushes?? Or maybe you need to slow down a bit

Evening stu, Just had a m.o.t not said all seems to be fine no noises of knocking...
Just got talking earlier someone said tyre pressure could be wrong?

Guess I'll see what big G says guess he'll know.

Yup he would know........they will be away sprinting tomorrow so you may not get an answer 'til the start of the week. If the rear tyres were massively over-inflated then maybe Billy, but you'd be talking nearer 45- 50psi in my experience.

Who done the alignment, someone that really knows there stuff? When I had my evo set up with a fast road set up it was a night and day difference. Would drop 2psi in front and 4 in rear but that splitting hairs and only my knowledge fom a V.

id go 28 psi with nitrogen you wont get pressure increase with temp

but as lee said alignment is king on evos., ill be able to so rt that soon
