TR6 TR6 tire pressure

Is anybody running 205 /70 tires on their TR6? Question is what should the tire pressure be for the front and rear tires cold? Thanks
 
When this gets asked, I don't know that I've seen 2 alike.
Mine are usually 31 rear, 28 front.
I have run 31 or 32 all around.
 
I don't know the correct answer either, I am still getting to know my IRS car's handling after running many LBC's with solid axles and leaf springs for years. Are you looking for handling or a smooth ride? I would run about 28 all around for general tooling around in comfort, and maybe more like 32 psi if you like to whip it around the corners a lot. I am not really sure what is best front to rear.
 
As one might conclude from the above -- no one right answer. I can tolerate a harsh ride for the handling I prefer so I tend to go pretty high on the pressure with the rear tires usually about 2 lbs higher than the front.

Maybe start at 32psi and see how it drives, then go up or down from there. I know of no reason why you cannot go as high as you like so long as you do not exceed the pressure shown on the sidewall.
