chris956 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Quoting CharlesElliott: 22-23psi hot (track) Thats kinda where I was thinking. I`ve stuck them at 20psi for road unless someone tells me thats totally wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably its ok to run them this low due to the harder sidewalls ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3MCJez Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I run my 2.8T family tank with tyres at 50psi. I run my sports car (1.3T) at 30psi. I run my Caterham (600kg) at 18psi. It all makes sense really! Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People run them this low because of the hard sidewalls - to improve the ride compliance and contact. This is a fundamental difference from a tyre designed with a 7 or light sports car in mind.
