Question 18" tyre presssures?

Quick one.

Should 18" tyre pressures be higher than 17"? Or is there no difference?


Thanks in advance

(18" Pirelli Nero on FF7s)

If this is a new Scoob (MY 01 onwards) then you might want to experiment with higher front pressures. Most of the additional weight of the newer cars is over the front wheels. I've found that by going for higher PSI at the front, it helps to compensate for the extra weight (a little less understeer). Worth a try - it won't cost you anything. For the record, my MY01 on 18" wheels use 35F, 32R.

I'm with Chris on this, using the exact same pressures on my 03 STi.
