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.

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.

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.

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)

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.
