Ive finally ditched the original 14” Avon ZV3’s and gone for Dunlop Sport Bluresponse instead of the rapidly running out (supply) and hence IMO over inflated (snigger) Yoko oa21’s.
According to the manual the ZV3 should have 20psi front and rear, so ive started with 20psi on the Dunlops and initial impressions are very good even though they re not bedded in yet. I know anything would be better than the old ZV3’s but the car has been transformed in both ride pliancy and grip. The sidewalls do seem quite soft at 20psi which is no doubt making it a more comfortable ride.
So the questions I have to you helpful chaps is what 14” tyre pressures do you run (front to rear)and on what brand of tyre?
What advantages, if any are there in higher pressures?(I only use the car on the road by the way)
Cheers

PS if masterslamma’s out there I d be keen to hear what you did when you ran the Dunlops.

Hi again downsman and thanks for the reply... Wow even less psi. That's interesting. Is there a risk of the tyre coming off the rims at low psi when on the limit, or is that nonsense?
