Re: [Tech] [Tire pressure] [195/50-15 tires]

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

on my fronts I'm running about 35 psi and the rears are about 28 psi
I would have a lot more in the rear, but there's practically no weight back
there right now. No rear bumper, no rear seats, no rear interior, no spare
tire, etc. drag race setup :)

If I run more pressure in the back, the contact patch gets extremely skinny
as the middle bulges out. Then you start having fun with a massively
twitchy rear end! the 28mm rear bar and no front bar only exacerbate the
situation.. hehe

So in conclusion, on my lightwieght Mk1 w/ full interior and stuff, 35-38
front, around 30-34 rear.

You dont want too little pressure-thats a sure way to bend your nice
expensive 15's!

What kinda rims did ya get???
