Finaly have Corsa Kyalami tommorrow pressures

[johnpest]

Hi I am sure this has been covered before. I have final given up on the set of pirelli pzero asimetricos the car came with and slapped a set of Corsas on

I am going to Kyalami for a track day tommorow and next saturday. What pressure do I run. We are expecting around 30 C ambiant tommorow ( track will be hotter still)
I have put nitrogen in the tires as they claim they can run cooler- not a bad thing on a hot highveldt summers day

Regards

Never been convinced about the Nitrogen thing (air is 79% nitrogen anyway), but I run the Corsa's on 'road' pressures and they are fine - although some do drop 1 or two PSI out as the centres can wear quicker than the edges at the rear.

Just keep the pressures at road levels when hot. You don't need to overinflate corsas as their construction is sufficiently rigid to not warrant it.

If you read the corsa brochure it recommends dropping 6 psi off before going out to get road temp when its hot.

Start with road temps, 20 front, 30 rear, get them hot then readjust back to road temps. Rears go up about 6psi and fronts up by 3psi when hot.
