Toyo tyre pressures

[V8 Animal]

I consider tyre pressures set at 24 and 26 to be the norm for this car.
I was advised today to run them 10 psi more to reduce sidewall flexing on toyo's.
Anyone run these pressures?

I run mine at 26 all round and no problems 10psi on that is definately too high .
Toyo T1S fitted on mine and are great .

10 psi more would allow your car the handling characteristics of your cat to resemble a '94 discovery! stick to the factory pressures, i maintain they did a good job setting the correct pressures.

stick to the factory pressures
I understand your reply and im on yourside but these wer'nt factory tyres although the sizes are the same.

Currently on 25 front, 28 back, T1-Rs 215R17-45 front, 245R18-40 back...

I'm open to suggests as I haven't tried other presssures with these...

Car does feel a bit 'flighty' at the front end above 80mph with the roof on, but I put that down to the absence of a front splitter...

On my original wheels I run 24 26 as everyone else. I tried to play around with them a bit but couldn't get them any better to be honest!

I have Falkens at the back , I believe also a softer sidewall than the original spec tyres. I have experiemented with the pressures and now run them at 26, anything higher and I get lots of slide and little grip

24 front, 26 rear is about the best for road use. If you go to +10 psi you're likely to be in a ditch shortly afterwards.

Thanks guys thought i was being fed a load of garbage.

Agree with 24 and 26, or slightly lower, just try +10 psi, its damn scary and you won't last two minutes. Toyo's are fine at this pressure.

Dunlop SP2000, I run 25 front 28 back. Anything less (eg what it says in the handbook) and it gets really flighty at the front. I put a couple of more pounds on for my recent European trip (lots of fast miles and heavily laden) which worked quite well, but it needed letting down again afterwards as it made it too bouncy for everyday use. +10 would be scary IMO.
