Question Pressures (again)

Sorry to post this but the search isn't working as yet.

I've got Prodrive 17" speedlines on my 00MY Turbo with F1 215/40 (or might be 225/40 cant remember without going out to the garage again)

I've been putting 33 in the front and 28 in the back, as on the sticker inside the drivers door. Is this about right ?
Cheers for any help folks, Matt

Hi Matt,

Run the fronts harder than the rears, try 31/28 and increase until you're happy with them.

I have always used 31/28 on the classics and STis I have owned, now running 34/31 in my MY03 wagon.

I have always found that keeping the rears softer helps the balance. Increase the fronts if it tramlines too much as it seems to help.

I run 34/32 f/r on my STi3 with standard rims and tyres after reading many posts on this as the concensus seems to suggest that as a good base point.

Powerstation also recently confirmed that as correct when doing my alignment and bumpsteer mod. Enjoy.

Cheers Guys. Think I'll up the rears to 30 and see how it goes. Seems like I got the fronts about right.

I believe that Prodrive recommend 33f/30r for all tyre sizes.
