Andy is running 19 and they are still wearing in the middle!

cheers Ed

I'm running 17 at the rear, but i kick the ass out of it, and the set-up of the car is track biased.

Don't rate the t1r's on track either - if you thrash them they will go off in 2-3 laps - but it depends who hard you are on them.

Given your road use 22f/24r would be spot on - check to see if they are wearing evenly across the tyre from time to time though.

Thread hijack!
I have PM'd some others that are in the know, however looking for the experiences of others......
I have R888's on the rear of the exige........I put them (and the A048's on the front) all down to 24psi.
The fronts feel ok (once I get used to them), however the rears felt shocking.......the car was moving about all over the place and sqirming in the corners.........suggestions?

Or find more skill?

It was that bad I put the rears up to 26 which is a bit better (may even try 27 - and see if I actualy notice a 1psi difference)....

I found reducing the rear PSI helped reduce my squirming about ?!?

Robin/Ed/Shug????

Ed being asked a technical question

Book is about right for the AD07's. 26 front and 27.5 rear IIRC.

You can try adjusting slightly and see how it goes, if you want.

It is also worth noting that you should get your own tyre pressure gauge and not rely on one on the airline in petrol stations, these will vary between each other and wont be that accurate.

I may be selling good rear and nearly fully worn front a048s very soon. I'll keep you all posted. Like some of you, Ill be looking for more realistic "road" alternatives.

...unless of course i get hooked on the dry grip they offer, and just go easy in the wet...im used to that anyway!
