28psi
Lovely GSi mate. Run whatever the car tells you.
In the dry/summer 31psi on the front with 28psi in the rear
In the wet/winter 32psi in the front & 32psi in the rear
smallblock 8v, XE/LET would be ever so slight higher.
I run 25-28 on the front depending on use and 28-30 on the rears.
Actually I'm being hypocrytical. I sometimes run 45 in the Lolvos rears. lol
If yours feel too hard I'd drop 2/3 and see what you think then.
i used to put 30 in my bmx Maxxis Ringworms lol
I put 32 in all 4 on my cars.

55psi in the hoisty Nova Spin, nose up against the council garages and some 10w40 beneath the front tyres.

I put 32 in mine as well. I'm sure it says that on the tyres too :confused:

lol Any psi marker on the side of the tyre is the max safe pressure. Required psi for a tyre is car/weight/load specific.

Personaly i think it looks spot on mate, i would only add more wax to the car and enjoy it:thumb:

Surely it would be nigh on double 32 though?
Surely it would be nigh on double 32 though?
one would hope...
My kumhos say max 50psi.
I run the fronts at 21-23 and the rears 24-26 (similar weighted car lol)
Surely it would be nigh on double 32 though?
Yes I would have thought so, however the point I made stands and was teh reason I posted. No-one should be using the numbers on the tyre wall as the inflation guide.

I tend to run high 20's (28/29). You can go a little lower at the rear IMO as the car is so light, unless you run full fuel & passengers etc ( I never do). It depends on tyre construction also as softer sidewalls will want a tad more pressure. I guess I go by feel.
Nice car though pal, lower springs on the rear IMO. ;) I have just sold on my Red GSi I've had for 10 years. Mine had Alessio's for a while.
