im wondering what pressure to have my tyres at on my wrx for maximum grip without them looking flat?

what does everyone else run at??

my cars on 16 gold speedlines with 205/50/16w kumho tyres at the mo. whats the best pressure???

 

Kumho! Your brave.....
I have the same size and I have seen alsorts of reccomendations, I use 31/29 or 32/30. Depends on how hot it is and how accurate the gauge is i guess.. Trial and error so long as your not being silly.
Will be interested to see what other people use.

 

i take it kumho are crap then? the guy i bought it off had just fitted them as i bought the car for its mot as the previous ones were erm bald lol... just cheepy tyres. what would anyone recommend for reasonable money???

 

How about using the manufacturers recommended pressures?

 

didnt get a owners manual with my car so not too sure what should be what. im finding out all i need to know off people on here

 

Bridgestone Potenza are a good choice they run out @ £83 INC VAT

 

does that mean 32 at the front and 30 at the back? or vise versa???

 

I did a search for this the other day, and a lot of people recommend 33/31 or 34/32.

I've gone with 34/32 - feels good to me.

 

which one at the front?

 

Kumhos are rubbish!

I have them on my car - awful

Running 32/32 on 18's - dont know if thats right or not (Front/Rear)

fair does. i had 18s on my old sport that i wrote off with toyo proxes and to be honest these 16s with kumho tyres handle better... just not sure on the pressure for the tyre

 

Camskill did me Toyo TR1R's at £72 each, inc VAT and delivery.
Had Goodyear Eagles before, but i like these, and they cost alot less..
and their better in the wet..

 

camskill are pretty good im looking at geting some uprated discs and pads for my scoob off their website. seem pretty good prices too. mine are far too spongy and dont stop me quick enough!!!!

 

Lots of people like the Toyos.

Had them on my previous Impreza and they were great.

Must say that the previous car (95 uk classic) handled much better than current one (01 wrx wagon) - hoping that this is just due to crappy Kumho tyres...

 

I've got Toyo T1R's... highly recommend them. Nice progressive loss of grip and sharper handling with the stiff side walls. I run 35 psi fronts and 32 rear. Running 35 at the front for me seemed to sharpen it up that little bit more and hopefully reduce excessive outside edge tyre wear.

 

35 front and 32 rear. Ive seen 37/32 recommended for standard (ie: not Whiteline) suspension but that makes the front 'crash' quite a lot.

35/32 works for me, although I reduce slightly during the winter to aid wet traction. Keep the rears 3psi softer than the fronts.
