Am replacing with the 18 Prodrive wheels and a set of F1's, does any one have any idea of tyre pressures? Will these be the same as before?
So I have a set of nearly new STI wheels and tyres if you know any one who is interested. Just 2,500 miles and as new.
Check out the for sale section.

r32,
Like you, myself and both me mates have gone this way with the Prodrive alloys and F1 GSD3's. Anything from 33 to 36 depending on how you drive or want to drive. 33 for normal stuff is fine, but if you are going to play and have fun up towards 36, other wise you'll loose the shoulders real quick. You will find the ride a little harsh compared to 33 though. If you go on the track you'll need 40 plus to start with, but watch out as the tyre pressure will go over 50 real easy, as they get hot. We were finding around 45 worked well on a little dry tight sprint track, with 10 mins between runs.
Hope this helps a little. Don’t forget nothing beats trying the car with different pressures yourself and see what you think and how the whole thing feels. To re cap I run 33, but if going on a run with the lads I use 36.
