[Yampiedog]

What tyre pressure should be on a Mark 2 180?

33 in the front
30 in the rear

That's what I use as quoted in the manual.

Me too.tried a few differing points of view from various places,but the OE pressure work well for me.
I might add I do them when the tyres are up to temp

Depend what tyres your running i,m on vederstiens at the moment and they recomend 41psi i found this to be to light on the steering found 38psi to be just right . When i went for oe pressures it just didnt handle atall well in the bends suppose though if you are running contis then the oe recomendation will be right for them tyres

What! 41 and 38! surely not. That is excessive, not only will it wear the centre section but your grip levels will be somewhat compromised. Those pressures are what we used to use on trackdays back in the 80's before tyre technology improved.

I know it's 33 front and 30 rear for the on my Mark 1 so that's what I went for on the tyre pressures for the Mark 2 alloys. Just wondered if it differed seeing as the wheels are slightly wider. However the front feels a little light?

surly does it not depend on the tyres as im using 205/40/17 " toyo p4 on my 120 and at 30 they look low on air? Seems to handle nicly though
