Back to basics...Correct Tyre Pressures

[northnoble]

very basic I know, but what are the recommended tyre pressures for a 2002 M12 GTO?

[D_G]

20PSI Front / 30PSI Rear.

With OEM SO3's? 18/27psi

[northnoble]

Thanks for the replies.....had a look in the US manual (ref Nobleparts) and could not believe 18 psi at the front......my front and rears are both at 25 psi so will adjust and see what difference it makes.

Many thanks,

You're not going to believe the amount of front end grip you're going to get!

25psi at the front! Nice cheap power-steering.

Joys of buying a car from a garage that knows nothing about setting up a Noble that hasn't been used for a long time!! Looking forward to feeling the difference!!!

Don't got spinning backwards into a ditch now that you've got used to the understear

[northnoble]

Too much snow and ice about at the moment !!!

[mr-manners]

Does that go for other breeds of tyre?

just had eagle f1 assymetrics fitted and while i havnt checked the pressure it does feel a bit hard

[jimbooo]

i have a 2002 m12 gto 2.5l same as you. I drive it every day with eagle f1s at 18/27 and it handles perfectly. With more in the fronts i get understeer as mentioned before. Thats just me though but i would give it a try if i were you.

Will change it this weekend......still need to get my head around the low pressure though - last car (Scooby STi) ran on nearer 30 !!

What are the Eagles like for wear on the Noble?? What is the general view on tyres for the Noble as i have had an enquiry regarding tyres for this vehicle?

I used emery paper to file it off to the required depth for crossover - if more if necessary then an angle grinder but be careful!

[northnoble]

Have looked into a new (smaller) front splitter - only one I can find is from Noblemods....but they haven't answered any of my emails....any other suggestions??
