cheers

I run 25psi in the front and 50 in the back.........maybe 40 in the wet but usually stick at the same pressure!

I ran 25 psi front and 30 psi rear at Nutts yesterday. Poor tyres didn't help but it seemed to be a good combo

WHAT!!! in the chaser?

[Chuck_g]

Yup..........alot harder to loose traction in the Chaser than it looks!! Its suspension set up is set up for serious traction!! Bon used run 70psi in the back

[PeterT]

70? do the tires not absolutely shred themselves with the heat straight away?

[Administrator]

What pressure are they when they're hot Chuck? What tyres you running actually? And they're 265s aren't they?

[Davie]

iv heard of a few lads running 60-70psi on the rear

Jebus!

A lot of it depends on tyre width, power of the car and type of tyre.

[serious tom]

i thought i was badass putting 45psi in my mountain bike tyres :o:rolleyes:

[retro head]

i always had 30 psi all round in the road cam and the trueno i have 30 in the front and 40 in the back

[PeterT]

i had 40 psi in my road wheels last time i was in nutts and they delaminated after 1 lap....ONE FECKIN LAP due to the heat! so i ran after, although my old tires that were sitting out in the garden months lasted ages with 30 in them.

i ran near 50psi on my 225 federals in mondello,i was afraid to see what pressure was in them when hot

anyone ever used tyre deflators?

Nope...................take a while!

@ Darragh...............i run federal 595 RS's

[Frankae86]

I found my car goes better with lower pressure, 22 - 25 in front, 25 - 30 in the back. Then again this depends on conditions and power etc..

[lsd32]

i run 25psi front wet and dry and rear is 45psi dry and 25psi wet

[s13-ste]

yesterday i was running 30 psi on the front and 40 psi on the back.

[rancido64]

50psi on the back :D

[Administrator]

yesterday i was running 30 psi on the front and 40 psi on the back.

I'd say a bit lower might have helped you out a little up there Ste

[s13-ste]

il take that on board darragh and drop it for the next time i get out

[Frankae86]

i run 25psi front wet and dry and rear is 45psi dry and 25psi wet

Sounds about right to me

[ste]

does the higher pressure really make that much difference ye????

[Dunnedriftin]

does the higher pressure really make that much difference ye????

well the lower the pressure the more grip on the ground, the higher the pressure the easyer it is to spin the wheels...

less pressure + hot surface = hard to spin wheels & drift

[ste]

ah maybe thats why my wheels wont spin up in 2nd in dry well that and the MASSIVE TURBO LAG

Try the pedal to the left Ste :D

100psi wont sort out your lag lol

[Dunnedriftin]

100psi wont sort out your lag lol

pmsl... lol haha :p

[ste]

100psi wont sort out your lag lol

ah now no need for that, but when it does spin up it tends to smoke the place out of it lol......

[Davie]

true i can vouch for that,cloud machine:D

[ste]

i emphasise WHEN LOL:p

[serious tom]

ha ha i want to see what it looks on steelies:p
burn em off the hubs :p

[Jay Rockett]

You using RSR's chuck?? they mightnt delaminate so quick as there're designed for track use, and getting hot..

I run 30/32 in the front and sometimes 25 in the back to stop them delaminating..

If tires start delaminating let the pressure drop, its amazing how much the psi rises
as soon as ya do a few laps in a driftcar!
