Tire Pressure

For street use :-

car :: DC2R
suspension mods :: None
tire size :: 205/45 x 16" on 16x7" rims
tire brand :: Michelin Pilot Preceda
tire pressure F/R :: 36F 39-40R Cold

... More rotation FTW!

Some of you may note this is the reverse from Honda's recommendation of more pressure in the front (placard says 32F/30R or something?). I can't stand the feel of the car with more pressure in the front tyres. It feels so sloppy and slow, and doesn't rotate as quickly. Ideally I should just upgrade my rear swaybar but I can get a similar effect with pressures for the moment.

What about nitrogen? I used it last track day, kept pressures more regular but a bastard if you need to top them up a bit. Im going back to good old aussie air for this track day (tomorrow YAY)

top up with air anyway. there's already some in there from the start as it's impossible to get all of the air out before it is filled with nitrogen.

hate nitro.. especially for track hahaha not adjustable enough.. can only take out but not in

once you put normal air in there its pretty much useless..

Not really - you still maintain a higher % of Nitrogen overall, since last time I checked, conventional air is about 78% Nitrogen. LOL

Either way topping up with compressed air shouldn't make any major difference.

car :: DC5R
suspension mods :: 8/10k
tire size :: 205/55/16 on stock dc5r rims
tire brand :: Advan AD07
tire pressure F/R :: 37F 35R (after 5min trip to servo)

i run it abit lower in the rear because i generally get more oversteer from the 25mm rear sway and 10kg spring rate in the rear

Ran 34/32 cold at Wakefield. Tyres screamed and complained...

Ran 29/29 cold at Wakefield. Predictable, grippy and durable, lacked response but nothing considerable.

[tinkerbell]

I run 28/31 cold.... Or 30/32 cold... Or 31/32 cold...

On kuhmo v70a

Depending on Heaps!

35/34 hot is the aim...

tire size :: 255/40/17 (Front) 245/40/17 (Rear)
tire brand :: Bridgestone Re001
tire pressure F/R ::
F: 32psi (Cold - Track)
R: 30psi (Cold - Track)

36psi All round for street

[theHKway]

We put 36PSI in most of our customers cars
40PSI if super low profile i.e 235/35R19
32-34PSI if its a small car (jazz etc etc

if on track, lower the pressure by 4psi (COLD)
we run 34-36PSI HOT on street tyres when on track
or 30-32psi on semi's (hot), but u must check this after session

coilovers. damper settings doesn't make a difference

Weight vs Profile and HOT vsCOLD are thngs you should consider when looking at pressures

some of our cars run tyre pressure scensors to help us learn more about pressure when on track but its a expenive thing

having the correct pressures can save you a whole second around Winton in our 370z

Fireway if you want us to recommend a pressure for your car
give me tyre size and car

hope this info helps
