Tyre Pressure advice
MY02 WRX with 4 x Toyo Proxes T1-R.
Currently i have 30PSI on the front and the same in the rear - just wondering if this is the recommended PSI. I mainly do motorway miles.
Is this the correct PSI or should i have slight less in the back ?
Cheers

If as you say mainly motorway miles then I'd look at running more in the fronts, say 34-36 and keeping the rear as is. Best bet is to try it and see how it feels to you, what someone likes you may not.

Keep the rears 3psi lower than the front, increase until you are happy. Typically you will run lower pressures in the winter, I'm currently runing 32f/29r

My scoob runs 1.9bar (28psi) on the rears, 2.3bar (34psi) on the front, though this is the factory spec for my car and i like it, look to see what the factory settings are (they will be on the door frame) and play with that, though you should have more psi on the front than the rear due to the engine weight.
