Can anyone tell me what PSI I should be running for normal road use as I can't find it listed anywhere?
I know people will be running different pressures depending on how they want the car to feel, but any advice would be appreciated. Thanx.

Prodrive suggest 33psi front / 30psi rear (up to 32psi on the rear for sustained high speed or heavy load) for all wheel sizes.
While MRT suggested 35psi on both front and rear results in better grip and handling, at the slight expense of ride quality.
I run 36Psi on road on 17" wheels and 52Psi
on 16" track wheels

Thanx for the advice chaps.
Tried running 34psi all round and the car feels a lot different.
Very much lighter on the steering and has a much pointier feel.
