tyre pressures
what tyre pressures should I be running on a 195/50 15" rim? Its for a Locost with a zetec lump and a fatty driving. There was only 20 all round
so I put it youp to 25 but thought therws not much weight so maybe it should be softer. I can't do a search from my touchpad but I'm sure
its been covered a gazillion times before.
cheers Jon

I didn't know what it should be, just thought it was a little low. Is there an online calculator anywhere to work it out by corner weights?

25 is way too high. I played about with mine on a track day and ended up with them at 14psi cold. Grip was way better than with 18-20 psi.
My car is an Indy with a Zetec engine and had 195/50 Yoko A539s.
