Hi all,

ok i have been playing with tyre presures for a while...and have come to some conclusiions, wondered if nayone else has tried this..

850 2.5 20 valve with 16" T5 wheels 205/50 R16's with avon zzm's all around...

my favoured setup is

fronts 34psi, backs 30psi

anything under this on the fronts i find leads to fairly wild understeer in tight corners with power off

anything much over this (like 36psi) i like, but the ride gets farily severe

anything under hat on the back leads to a musshy feeling, anything over and the back gets slidey....

any other takers/combinations/tyre thoughts....
