tyre pressure survey
What do you guys run ...street and track setups.
Makes sense to give your tyre and rim sizes...if you want you can give suspension setup (agx, eibach, tein, GC, etc...)

I always add 3 PSI over what the recommendations are in every car I've ever owned. I run 32/F and 29/R with the b13. I don't think that rim size within reason makes any difference.

with my 205/40 16 yokohama A520's i run 40psi. i don't mind the harshness cause i get better gas mileage when i run them that high. *note* no tire wear when i do that either, they've been on the car for almost 3 years and almost 30,000 miles and still have approx. 30% tread left.

I opened the thread but didn't post my data..
195/55 15 kuhmo...34f - 32r psi
wheel size doesn't make a difference but i wanted to differentiate between just posting tyre diameter and profile but omitting the wheel size.

Yes i do, it actually does slow me down but the rims dont weight that much for being 17" rims: 15.1 lbs. I used to run 14" steelies but they are now on my dad's car.

I run around 35f/32r with 15" tires. I just went from 205/50 to 195/50 (Potenza S-o3s, on sale, and they are badass!). And for the track (road course, not drag strip), I leave them about the same. For auto-x, on my other (street)tires, I had to go around 38-40f. I'd play around with the rear to get the rear to handle the way I wanted. Usually ended up around 28-30r.
