Sagaris Tyre Pressures

[TSS]

A quick survey: What tyre pressures are other Sagaris owners running?

I run mine at 25PSI all round. I picked up my car from its 12K service yesterday and it was like driving on marbles. I checked the pressures (when the tyres were fully had fully cooled) and they were at 29.5PSI all round. Dropped them back to 25PSI and the handling is back to normal.

I have the standard Goodyear F1 Eagles 255/35 tyres. I'd be interested to know what pressure other owners find is best?

24 PSI with Goodyear F1s
22 PSI with Dunlop SSR

Pretty much similar to mine I think.

Although 24psi is recommended I keep mine at 25psi(T350) to allow for a margin of error on the pressure gauge. I wish you could buy a super duper gauge that guarantees accuracy. But then again would a pound over or a pound under make much difference?

It would make a little bit of difference as lowering mine 4.5PSI made a really noticeable difference. I think it depends on the tyre to an extent. When I had Yokohama AVS Sports on my Tuscan I used to run the fronts at 21PSI as they had quite hard sidewalls. I could notice an increase in skittishness if I pumped them up to 22PSI.

I thought the manual says 26 all round unless you're on a track or sustaining high speed then it's 26 front, 28 rear. I'll go and double check that but the thought the handling on the goodyear eagles at 26psi allround was exemplary. I'm truly impressed with the tyres having just tested them at the nurburgring in both the wet and the dry. I'll be happy to have another set of those when they wear out, which after 6000 miles there's absolutely no sign of yet. Another of the benefits of a lightweight car and to be fair, of running a car in properly too.
