Tire Pressure

Share this page

I think I run mine at 32lbs. Play with them and find where it rides and handles like you want it (ha-ha a TR3 that rides good). On a 2000# car modern tires will dry rot before before they wear out.
 
I use 30 pounds per inch squared all around. Seems to work O.K.
 
Related question - how about tire pressures for Redlines?

The TR6 has them and the squeal like crazy to a point where I want to replace them.
 
I run 32 psi in my redlines, this seems to be the optimal pressure for these tires, and yes they do squeal around corners... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/driving.gif

I think it really depends on how you want the rear end to behave. My only experience is with solid-axle TRs but those seem to be fairly sensitive to front end pressure and its effect on oversteer.

That's because, by todays standards for even cheap tires, they are not a good tire. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/pukeface.gif

Practically stones in the way that they handle. Good for practicing on how to recover when you push too hard though since they seem to slide predictably... and early. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/driving.gif
