Default tyre pressures

could someone let me know tyre pressures on 18inch Prodrives (OZ) on an sti 03MY? Take it they are different to standard wheels, and they didn't come with any info

Thanks

I run 18's on a classic and when I changed up from 17's was advised to keep the typre pressures the same as standard.

I run 34psi front 32psi rear. Not sure how helpful that will be to an 03 owner though, as I do'nt know the standard pressures.

Just start with standard and play around with them for a bit - each time you check the pressures change it by 1 or 2 psi till you get something you're happy with.
Too high, it doesn't grip into the corners soon enough for me, too low and it feels quite laboured in the corner. Get it right and it's lovely...

Good luck

Everyone seems to have there own preferences with tyre pressures, I seem to remember seeing a post from Nick Wadeson (Prodrive) saying that the best set up was 33 Front, 31 Rear.

My understanding is 33 front, 31 rear. Seem to recall the same posting from Prodrive (Nick I think).
