- The tyre would look half flat at that pressure and also be impossibly heavy to drive. The steering creaks and groans as it is. I am using a brand new tyre pressure gauge. I obviously thought my old

- I have experimented throughout last season and I found my 185/14 (60 profile) tyres gave the best grip/handling at speed with 32psi fron and 34/35psi rear. Working on the +5psi rule for circuit work
