Although you can put 225/40 on the fronts as well as 235/35.

Sorry to rob your post but I have the spiders on my cerb with the 35 profile, and what pressure should I be running them at for normal road use?

It seems from 2005 TVR went for 28 all round. I used to have 24 in mine but are now trying 28 to see how they go.

Try:

or

www.falken.co.uk

I tried the Falken FK452's on my old Cerb and was very impressed. Prior to this it had been running the Toyo Proxes T1-R's which were good tyres also. Pricewise the Falkens are hard to beat and the quality of them is comparable with the Toyos.

Tyre Pressures can vary dependant upon set-up and personal preference, but I used to run 24 rear and 26 front, not conventional but worked for me and my cars set-up.

I find 28 to be too hard and leads to skittishness. I'm running the following:

Front: 225/35/18 Michelin Piloté Sport @ 22psi
Rear: 255/35/18 Michelin Piloté @ 24psi

Handles like it's stuck to the road with that setup [Avo dampers set to medium].

I'm also running Falkens and have nitrons - 26psi all round.

Just had a couple of trips with them at 28 so will see how they go over a longer test period. I do know what you mean by them being skitty and that was my first feeling but I will have a longer play to see how it goes.
