Nitrons (stupid question)

[S1mon.]

I have Nitrons fitted to my T350, and find them very hard on normal roads.
By turning the adjusting screw in the minus direction will this make them softer?

Thanks.

I believe this is the case! What setting are they on now?

[S1mon.]

no idea what they are now, the adjuster is at the top so can't see any numbers or markings.

Count the clicks in the minus direction until it stops and you will then know what setting your on. I will guess it's 13

Yes it was 13. Gold star for you.
Have put them onto 4, although it much less harsh in town it don't feel good on contry roads.
I will up them a bit. Is it best if front & rear are the same?
What does anyone else set them at for every day use & a bit of fun on the twisty roads?

Start with 10 all round Simon. Set at 4 you will be doing a zebedee if you give it some stick. Are you running 1 or 2 way dampers!

I will try them on 10 all round, tried the rears on 4 and the back end was all over the place, Not very nice at all.
No idea what you mean by 1 or 2 way dampers?
As far as i know they are standard Nitrons.
Just experimenting today and fitting 2 new rear tyres has made it a different car. Just need to find a happy set up.

I have Avo's on mine & i too am fiddling. All abit bouncy at the rear at the moment. More experiment today.

I would say they need to be softer at the back, by 1 or 2 clicks.

Seconded. 10 front/8 rear here.
