Tyre Pressures!?
Discussion
Just a random thread to see what sort of tyre pressures people generally run on.
Lots of talk of different tyres and peoples experiences but then mention of how they can feel better or worse at different pressures.
So the question to you is; what size wheel do you have and then what pressure do you normally run?

18inch 34psi

read my mind only i thought my comments might start the debate in the tyre thread.
I wanted to try and keep it out of there 
It already seems my standard 33psi (on 18s) is a bit low compaired to others. First time I checked them from getting this one and they where all at 30psi, 33 has helped its wandering type feel it had but I see a road responce pack coming.
Maybe trying some higher pressures very soon.

RRP (including wheel alignment) will stop the wandering, but the main reason (please correct me if i am wrong) for it is to improve turn in and as suggested in the title, response - it gives the steering a tighter feel when you turn in.
At the speeds you could experience tyre wandering, i don't think "turning in" with gusto would be an option anyway!

Thats my understanding as well, which is all good, my driving is either motorway (which is where i get the un-nerving wander - maybe this is exaggerated in my head from the crash I had) or on country lanes off into the back of beyond.So all in all think its the right mod for me.
But for now I can see me putting in a few extra psi to take it up a bit more since I seem to be well down compared to you guys.
