Now theres a question!

I used to run my SC at 24 front 30 rear. that was on 15s though. It worked really well, though i had very stiff sidewalls and the tyres didn't roll over at all.

Generally i'd advise a 4 psi difference front to rear with the rears having the higher pressure. 6psi difference is better on track.

I did well racing with 24/30 though i'm sure the other racers would have been shocked to know that tbh!

At the moment i'm running 28/32 which seems okay. Because of the higher profile and more flexible sidewall i expect i'll likely run 26/32 or 28/34 on track.

HTH
