like the idea of knowing the temps, that would be especially good if you had toyo R888s which need a bit of heat in them if its not that warm out. what s the norm temp for tyres in normal driving and in hard driving then?


....Which is exactly why Hurdy got his TyreSure as he runs on R888's at times.

Yesterday my tyres started off at only 4ºC and rose to about 22ºC - It really depends on the day's weather and also because you don't tend to push your luck too much on public roads if the weather and conditions are restrictive.

I need to make some records of such info. Perhaps Hurdy already has some info - He's great at data.

I run 33-34 all round. I found Goodyear eagle f1s very sensitive to lower pressures. Anything under 32 and it felt rubbish.

I'll second that! Makes a huge difference if they drop off a bit.

I think I ran 40 allround on my S3 with 19s. Have you asked over on Audisport.net, I'm sure that's where I got my answers last time - lot of S3 drivers over there.

i now run 40 all round anything less is awful on these falkens and the lm reps.
there was a big thread not so long ago about using higher pressures which TT had a big input on i seem to remember! thats why i decided to go higher and also a bit of trial and error with these new rims.
ride feels better and i dont feel every bump and cornering is much better also.
lets see how the tread lasts but i,ll be changing brands soon as i ca anyway
