The tyre pressures quoted by TVR are based on the standard tyre of the time. This tyre is no longer available and drivers have found that alternative tyres such as Toyo have weaker side walls. This alters the way the suspension behaves; the general consensus is that the pressures should be set a couple of psi higher than quoted by TVR to compensate for the loss of rigidity.

Quoted pressures are 22/24 cold. I set mine at 24/26 cold for road use
