Toyo Tyre Pressures

Can someone remind me of the recommended pressures for the Toyo T1-S tyres.

I seem to remember it was slightly above what the manufacturer recommended, to get rid of the side wall flex.

Thanks
Robbie

T1S or T1Rs?

T1Rs I use 22F/24R or there abouts.

I just put t1r's on my car and at standard pressure they were horrible. I dropped them to 24F / 25R but might try them lower as per richards suggestion.

BTW, the car feels completely different to drive with 195 tyres on the front - much less understeer on the exit of corners in my opinion. I wont be going back to 175 tyres, even on the std 5.5" rims but think it'll take a coupe more roundabouts to get used to them yet.

Toyos are horrible for 200-300 miles, they will get better, but pressures will not make them feel much better to begin with. They just get over it after a bit. Bear in mind they have 10mm of tread all over!

Not for long

Stage 1 of the service got done yesterday. Still waiting for bits for the timing belt, but at least i can rev it without thinking about the black goo that was once oil

Are you running those pressures on an S2 or an S1 noops?

I have T1Rs on my S2 Exige and am running 22F/24R. They are great in the wet

Cheers all,

They're pretty olf now, although they don't get much wear as I'm in SFO now and they only get a run every 6 months (when I'm home). Couldn't bare to part with the car and keep it on here as the insurance was pretty cheap (<350 a year)

Just got back and they are a little soft so needed reminding where to set them

Cheers
