any one know the correct tyre pressures for a S2 ?

[Johnny P]

don't seem to be able to find this simple bit of info - anyone have it to hand ?

many thanks

22 PSI all round is what the manual said. However many people swear by 24 PSI for the rears for better stability, but I think that depends upon what tyres you have.

24PSI rears and 22PSI fronts for me

I'm with Gerald here and also my copy of the S Series owners manual (the little book that comes with the car when new) says Front 22psi and Rear 24psi so that makes it official!

Thanks chaps - quite surprised at how low they are.

The 24/22psi are the factory figures and I'd use them as a starting point.

24psi in the rears is too low I find with the Bridgestone ER300 tyres I now run. It squirms too much under hard cornering or quick direction change. I now run 26psi at the rear and 24psi at the front and find that far more stable when cornering with no squirming.

For reference, the GFs 1060Kg MX5 Mk1 ran 26psi both front and rear with 60 profile tyres so the factory figures are not far off far a car that is allegedly 100Kg lighter.

Experiment and see what works for you would be the best way.
