I'm a very exacting man. Custom built, one of a kind, first in the UK, etc. etc.

:oops:

Thanks for the info.

Also, do you know any decent places to go to have a full laser tracking done? I want all the geometry of the car checked as I think it's all over the place at the moment...I'm in Reading Berks but have no probs travelling for a recommended service

I run around 36psi in my fronts, 40psi in the rears. Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3s 205/40R17 fr and 235/40R17 re. All the tyre shops I've spoken to reccomend higher pressures for the GSD3s or they will wear prematurely.

30f and 34r for me.

AL, all running those pressures will do is wear the centre of your tyres quicker than the rest of them.

I've done about 20,000km on them and they are still around 5mm tread :)
