heh heh!
not an easy question to answer, depends on many things, weight of car, type or tyre (not size but exact construction, compound etc)
As a starting point, you won't go far wrong at 18-20psi (cold pressure) and work from there.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Formula 27 with live axle and pinto. I have settled at 18psi.
I tried higher and lower and settled at this as the best option although a couple of psi either way didn't make a vast difference.
Summer's here!!!!

I'll try with 20 psi.
for self centring, read people shove in mopre air in the front - 30 psi? will that mean nasty handling on the road?

22 psi in my indy is enough to give nasty handling, I run 16-18 at the front 18- 20 at the rear on 195/50 R15s
