What is the best tyre pressure?
Just wondering what tyre pressure do you recommend. My 205/40/17's are usually recommended max pressure is about 45kpa...
when I originally bought the car the tyre pressure was like 44.....but I've been running it on about 38kpa... opinions.. got the new tyres on yesterday, and like always they were all different pressures  I've put them back to 38kpa today.

I usually use the electronic ones at the woolworths or shell servo near home. they're becoming more popular, as the other gauges used to get stolen all the time from the local servos.

 heheh - anyway, max is 45, but I've noticed that they lose a fair bit on a haul down to Victoria - tht's why I pop them right up  Hmmm... well, the old tyres were 45... I've never really checked these ones....

oh ok... I think I'll stick to 38 then, cause I don't want to put it too high....the ride will be too hard then rides a little different with the new tyres... took it out for a little spin last night, and I'm pretty impressed with how the dunlops are responding....  might go out for a fang with Lang tomorrow during the day...she has to waste petrol in the RX7 before it goes to heathcote soon.

If you run lower tyre pressures you get more wear and crappier ride, but MUCH more traction. Good for traffic light duels

ride is OK on 38...bit firm 40 upwards. hehehe....I already redlined it a couple times last night like I said traction is much better with the dunlops....but then anything is better than crap hey also quieter too.
