Hand book says
F 185/55/15
R 205/50/16

The alternative is:
F 195/50/15
R 225 /45/16

As long as they are either one or the other you will be fine.

Hey guys,

Im running my t1-r's at 24F / 25R & they seem fine at that. Not been through an entire set at that pressure yet though so cant comment on centre / wall wear yet....

It's a place to start though :thumbsup
