If the tyre shop has just blown them up they're probably at around 40psi
I would think you'd want about 20psi depending on tyre size axle weight etc.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

I've heard of people running as low as 16psi, so chances are you're running with at least twice the pressure straight from the tyre
shop.
Drop the pressure, then go and give the tyres a good scrubbing by liberal use of the accelerator froma standing start.
If none of that works, then the tyres a crap and no-one else should get any!

I have had a couple of my tyres go flat (approx 5psi) and have noticed no discernable deterioration in handling

If the car in your avatar is yours, there's no room for air between the wheel and tyre!

used to run T1's 16psi all round, not bad road tyres once you bed them in, they work better when the tread has worn down a couple of mm.

Steve,
Yeah, it's mine, and one of the advantages of making your own bodywork, is you can get things as close as you like
