Have looked but can't find any thoughts/recommendations on pressure for 215/35/18 Falkens.
They are wrapped around my, so far, unbent Radius R3s.
Currently running them at 32psi all round but seems quite harsh at times and is prone to drifting.
Also running eibachs ATM but soon changing to H&Rs with mrt solid drop-links, them ALK and prodrive settings with bumpsteer mod.

someone said to me a long time ago, that it doesn't matter what size the tyres are, the pressures would work the same for all, it's the car that ditates what pressures to use, so, with that in mind, try 32f/30r.

I have 215/35/18 Toyo Proxes on Radius RL7's & was told that either 32 all round or 34(front) & 32(rear) was best.
I have used both & find the car is better on the 34/32 set up.

I have a New age 02 WRX and 215 40 18 Pirelli P7000s and I find that 32 is actually too soft and the car tends to wear the edges. I currently run 38 rear and 39 front and have exactly the right contact patch. This may be too much pressure, but it sure feels good to me.
