I'm wondering if many of you have experimented with different tyre pressures on your A110, and if so what you have settled on for road or track?

I saw someone on Facebook mention they run 27psi for a better ride but didn't think twice until recently, after fitting 17" wheels where the pressures had dropped to 20-25psi. Along with the higher profile tyres and smaller wheels it all made a significant difference to the ride and handling. I topped the pressures up to 29psi and as expected everything firmed and sharpened up a bit. I've since been experimenting and seems the A110 is generally quite sensitive to tyre pressures.

David Pook, who knows a thing or two about this, explained on PH some time ago, he had tested a lot & for road use with PS4s on 18s, he runs 29 psi all round (cold).

I set my 17s at 27 psi F & R, & that works well for me.
I'm currently a bit lower at 25psi with 17" wheels and enjoying it.

After driving for a good while on a warm day I think I can feel the pressures start to rise as the ride firms up a bit.
