Tyre pressures

[Maxxed_Ross]

I tend to put the fronts up to 35 in the summer to help get even wear. I found running at 32 over the summer months wore the edges too quickly

Go on verderstiens site thats what they say and a few people over on xpf run around the 38psi mark with there veds on

No mick i,m not running 41 i,m running 38 all round if you look on veds website they recomend 41 psi but i found that a little to much the steering was very light at 38 it feels wright and handles fine, At 33 it felt like the tyres were giving on the walls when cornering quick my contis were fine on cornering at 33 psi but my veds just felt rubbish at that pressure

To be fair,Vredstein do state different pressures for different manufacturers(so Ian is doing the correct thing IMO)
A rule of thumb I once read was max pressure of tyre minus 10%
No good for me,but hey give it a try you may like it lol
If you haven't been to http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html it is a good read.
Infact read all the car bibles this chap has written,informative & worth the time

Even at 38 seems high, still got your teeth? lol! I've pumped up my Toyo's a little more this time and get a better feel, but they are around the 33/34 mark.

I have a feeling the Vreds work differently.I know paul on XPF loves them & he uses similar pressures to Ian.
If I put that pressure in my Avons I would feel like Bamby on ice lol

Strange hearing certain makes behave so differently, I'm like you if I try those pressures it'll be like driving on crossplies!
