I'm running P Zero Neros on 18" Prodrive alloys on my STi7. Can anyone advise me if there are recommended tyre pressures for 18"s? I know pressures are listed on the inside of the door, but do these only apply to standard 17" wheels, or, as I've been told, these apply regardless of wheel size? My tyre pressures set by the dealer are considerably lower (28 front and 26 rear) - which is making me wonder.

Can anyone help? Thanks

Thumbs up

spot on for wet\cold weather and around 30 to 32 warm weather.
Ran 18s on several cars and checked a while ago with bridgestone and Pireli, and they both were about the same. soz can't remember where i got the inf... i think thier was also a tire test by autocar with very similar pressure. hope this helps

Bug eye needs higher presures up front. Try 36 front, 30 rear as a start, those presures seem very low as set by the dealer.
