I'm running mine at 38 as I like the skitty feeling you get on corners.
A good source of car knowledge reckons its bit too high.
I used to run my tyres with 33.
I know someone who runs his on 26.
So whats acceptable and what isnt then?

Surely it varies with load and tyre/rim size. I run my 225/40/18s at 31psi, i find at that pressure i don't get the usual tramlining at slow speed often associated with 18" rims

I had a BMW a few years back with 235 on front and 265 on back and it tramlined terribly.

I think tramlining is a lot to do with your geo setup as well as tyre/rim size, but thats getting off topic. I was explaining why i personnally run at 31psi

34F/32R on 18s. I'm not sure why, but I seem to remember someone @ Power Engineering advised me of these pressures years ago. Car does tramline a bit, but I can live with it, never thought to experiment really. Feels good in the corners.

Cant remember but I'm sure when if you got the Prodrive Springs fitted with the correct geometry Prodrive recommended I THINK 33F/31R .. I say I think cos it was a long time ago but I remember the 2 psi difference between the front and rear .. That was with 17s btw.
Currently trying 35F/33R to see if it makes any difference.
HTH.

I might drop the PSI down to 36 from 38 and see how it feels.
Thanks for the input chaps.
