Tyre Pressures.

Hi

Just looking for some info on what tyre pressures I should have on my STi4 Type R

It has a set of 17" OZ Superleggera's that were fitted in place of the standard 16's prior to me buying it. The tyres fitted to it are 215/40 17's

What tyre pressures should these be at?

Cheers

Ross

Can't go wrong with 33front and 30rear, adjust to suit.

Some people run higher, standard rear is usually 27psi from memory.

Tyre pressure relates to the weight of the car, not the size of the wheel and/or tyre. Run them at standard pressures, or whatever you prefer for specific handling characteristics.
