I have changed my wheels and tyres to 235-40-17 front and 255-40-17 rear on my Griff 500.

What pressure would you think I should use for fast road use scratchchin

I have very similar sizes on my Chimaera and ended up, after trying a few combinations, back at 24 front and 26 rear!

They are momos 17 inch, if you look at the Chatsworth pics there is a nice purple flip griff with them on also with black centres.

I wonder what pressure he put in his scratchchin

Edit to say check out my Profile for a pic

Depends on the brand of tyre really (sidewall compliance etc) I use Toyos and run 24 all round with no problems.

215/40x17 Front 235/40x17 rear.

I would try 24s, the SO3 has a very stiff sidewall couple that with the reduced profile you might find it a bit harsh, try both and see what you think.

I played around quite a lot and even with 225/45 on the front of mine (had both Toyo Proixes and Eagle F1s) so much more sidewall, found 26 too harsh...

Sorry Pasco, no tracktime........yet
