Hi - the search facility isnt working, i have a 95WRX 4 door with 215, 45, 17s with toyo proxes, can anyone advise on the optimum pressures to run to give best handling/ ride balance.

Cheers,
Phil

I run 28psi all round on 215/40/17 F1's once you start pushing on the presures rise with the heat, so could be upto 34psi when giving it abit, you end up with a lesser footprint of rubber on the road if overinflated, and wet weather grip wont be as good.

Just what i was advised by my tuner and it handles very sweetly.
all IMHO!
