Post Tyre Pressures for the weekend.
Can anyone give any guidance on tyre pressures for the weekend?

I'm now running 175 13's.

I've seen 22fr, 26/28 rr, but not sure if this applies to Coupes or Rossas

for road driving

18-20 psi front
26 rear

is usually my starting point for a coupe and fine tweek to preferance from there.

but on the drag strip i run very different pressures, basically lower the rear to maximise foot print for the launch but dont go tooo low as you will start distorting the footprint too much, and up the fronts for lower resistance, every little helps when you looking for that little bit extra i.e a few thousands of a second.
