I ran mine on 38 all round with a nice even wear across the tyre.

Yeah I ran it with 40 as recommended by the service department and tyre shops. I suppose it allows for fluctuations in tyre pressure as the tyre heats and cools.

I would think 40psi would abnormally wear the centre tread out. I run 35psi but only dont 4000ks.

42 front, 38 rear

At first I ran my 18s Dunlop Sp9000s at 34psi, they started wearing slightly on the outside, then I bumped it up to 40psi as recommended by my tyre dealer, and they wore badly on the inside, especially the rears. Now running 37-38psi. So far so good. But if you push your car fairly hard through corners, closer to 40 is supposed to be better, but my car gets alot of normal daily driving..

40 is fine on the front, but will wear out the middle of your rears quicker.

Run 36 or 37 on your rears.

I run 39/36 day to day driving, 41/37 for a twisty drive, and 50/45 on the track.

thanx guys.

I am running 36 at the moment on all fours. I suppose this would be ok. I may go up a little more

I run 40 front and rear then rotate tyres front to rear every 10 000 km.

works well for me and car loves it. :kissmy:

I ran 40 all round and had acceptable tyre wear.

NSW Highway Patrol ran 42 all round.
