Depends on a few factors like speed,sprinting, summer, winter and so on and your own feel for the car.

Try 23 first and have a play. Some guys run 21 and others 25 plus.

I have a 450 chim, when i first got the car I was running at 25 psi front and rear on toyo t1r's, the car was a handfully on b roads to say the least. I now run at 20psi when tyres are cold - much better ride and handling IMO.

I'm not sure what tyre pressures a Cerbera (I assume it is a Cerb that you are talking about) should run but the comment re Toyo T1Rs is interesting as most people say that these tyres are quite soft in the side wall and need to be inflated maybe a couple of PSI or so above the normal recommended pressure. I have a Griff and tried them as per the standard and whilst they weren't a disaster they do feel a lot better when 2 or 3 psi over the book so the running slightly lower does seem strange. What does everyone else do as I've only heard of running them a bit higher (and they do seem better to me like that)?
