S1 Tracking, Camber and Tyre Pressures

[Gatts]

Dear all,

Please can you provide the correct settings for my S1.

I had a bit of a "moment" coming into work this morning on a wet leafey road and I know my camber is out. Before I take it to a garage, I would like to provide them with the correct degrees.

I assume Tracking is "straight forward" (excuse the pun!).

Tyre Pressures - are they really as low as 22psi?

Please advise,

Thanks

Paul.

Tyre Pressures - are they really as low as 22psi?

Yes that's what I use, but any lower and the steering will be heavy and the tyres will wear on the inside edge more.
When I got new tyres in Munich (a secondment!) I did have difficulty in getting the fitter to set the tyres to the correct number of pascals! Also to use stick on not clip on weights! However the BMW spec 205/60 Michelins were nice and grippy, even if they did ware out very quickly.

A thread a couple down gave settings!

Thanks

Is the 22psi all round? or is it different front/back?

The other camber threads are for S2, S3, S3c,V8S or S1 Track Set up - just want the S1 standard road set-up for front and rear.

I know the rear arms are different on the S1 so expect the settings will be different?

Cheers

Paul.

When I fitted new Bridgestone Turanza tyres earlier in the spring I ran them at 22 lbs all round. I found them too soft. After a bit of playing around I now run 24 lbs at the front and 25 lbs at the back (by my own tyre gauge: accuracy unknown). Before I was getting too much understeer but now things seem fine for the road. Plenty of grip, sharp steering, a little understeer but nothing serious and a comfortable ride. Maybe try these settings and see how you get on?
