Thomas Harborne Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi all, just wondering what tyre pressures everyone has? Garage who fitted the tyres for me put all on 32psi but steering feels really too ligh lt for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 When I asked this last time 24R 22F and 25R 23F was the most popular choice. 32 is way too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanB Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I agree with un1eash. What do people inflate Toyo 888s to by the way? In s2 sizes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundaydriver Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Never trust a tyre fitter to inflate correctly. There's a skid mark on the A57 that reminds me ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary ZBJ Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Agree with un1eash, 25R 23F. 32 will be like driving on ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanB Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks for that Keith. The Toyo stuff is really useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr H Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I have 24R and 22F on the Honda S2. Always had it like that with 888s and AO48s. Seems fine on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatty Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 22/24 on my zzr's. I think anything around those figures will be ok... Good old tyre fitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meister Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 One thing I don't get about tyre pressures is with all the Lotus technical experience and relationship with the tyre manufacturers why they recommend 26F 29R. They must publish these figures for a reason???? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanB Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I wonder if the Lotus figures are what you should be aiming for when the tyres are up to temperature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must publish these figures for a reason???? Mark I'd guess it's to increase sales of front and rear clams after you've span of the road in wet or damp conditions, due to high tyre pressures. But I could just be being synical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa28pilot Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I wonder if the Lotus figures are what you should be aiming for when the tyres are up to temperature? Surely the manufacturer's quoted pressures are always the "cold" pressures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
