Hi,

I recently picked up a 325 track car with a set of R888 tyres, I think they're 205/50/15. Trouble is, I've got no idea what pressure to run them at!

Can anyone give me a guide? I'll be trying them out on the road first for a bit then doing a trackday at Cadwell in June (so potentially warm weather).

Thanks!

Put "toyo pitlane" in google and you should find the Australian Toyo site. Loads of info on there.

I was running 27f/23r at Brands last week and was getting 32f/30r hot. You should get between 1-4 psi more on the front because of the weight distribution.
