It's not as simple as that. The problem is that different types of tyre have different sidewall rigidity. With your average shopping car this really doesn't make a lot of difference but with your Chimaera it does. For instance, for normal day to day road driving SO2pp's were good at around (f/r) 22/24. Toyo T1-S and T1-R have softer sidewalls so they need to be inflated to 24/26 according to the PH collective though I find they work better at 25/28.

What tyres do you have fitted?

Is it bridgestone S-03? on both front and back

22/24 would be normal then. Saying that it really is also dependant on your driving style and how you want the car to handle. You should try pressures within +/- 2psi normal and see how you like it. Don't go lower than 20/22psi or the tyres will start rotating on the rims.

sorry sound stupid but when you say 22/24 to you mean 22 at the front and 24 for the rear or all 22 or all 24 and cheers for the info
