What are the best tyre pressures that people have found for the 18" prodrive wheels on an MY01.

Also what do people fit as new rubber to them other than the pirelli Pzero Rosso tyres

Prodrive advised me to try 32 F&R with 225/40x18 tyres.

Have used Toyo Proxes T1-s and S03 and liked them both, Goodyear F1 is another option.

Yep I with Dave. I run 18" Prodrive OZ's on my MY01. I've mucked around with tyre pressures and I have settled with 32 F/R - seems to work fine with the S03s that I've got at the moment (massive improvement over the Pzeros - dry and wet). As Dave has said, other alternatives would be Toyo's or the new Goodyear F1 which is very highly rated.
