I was down at a petrol garage the other day and checked the tire pressures on my recently acquired MY98 Turbo, it would appear that the garage had set them to the "load" pressures. I set them back to the "normal" levels and everything *seems* ok, did I do the right thing?

Don't trust what the petrol garage pressure gauges say, they have been know to be way off. Get a gauge from Halfords for around £12 and confirm the pressures.

Cool

Zaz is right, and I suggest you try 35 psi at each corner assuming you are running standard wheel/tyre size. Absolute treat on my STi V3.
