that depends on your car usage as well, if you have alot of "gears" at the back, then you might want to pump it up a little. the front is heavy plus front wheel drive, so pump up the front is okay too.

for me, 190-220 is nice when coming down from genting..

220kpa front & 190kpa rear is a ideal setup provided ur car is running light/nobody sitting behind or carrying load. This was the setup i ran for the genting trip. But now i've raised the pressure a little in front to 225kpa & much higher 205kpa rear. No load at the rear & it feels quite good too during my test at karak highway.

its all about trial and error. try it with different settings, feel the body roll on the road then tune again..i did 200 rear for genting run, it was kinda floaty and sliding when taking corners..so dropped to 190 for the 2nd run and it was better..Smile

32psi front and 28 psi rear for me. Solo, it steers neutral but very quick and responsive.
even with wife and two kids, it felt comfortable and responsive.
Steering is kinda light and no feedback at all. Is it electric assist?

So much for PDI...

I haven't gotten my car yet.... but I would believe the rear pressure should be higher... especially for a front wheel drive car... this is to balance out the understeer characteristic of fwd...

To reduce understeer, you would want LESS pressure in the rear

Anyone gone for low profile tyres yet? What do you use if you're on 205/40/17 for example?

Dear Klimal, kindly use the Ctrl C for copy and Ctrl V for Paste.

The code I am viewing that you have pasted is incorrect and the URL I have helped you check is not a valid URL link.

I have previously created a step by step instruction on how to post the images onto FCM,The area where u went wrong is you just only have to paste the "Direct" image URL code into the upload an image icon.

Hope this helps.

Hi members reading this, feel free to chip in and help Mr Klimal as we are a family here Very Happy
