Got the information from the factory and thats the pressure the cars are sent out on. Its down to personal preference at the end of the day (within certain limits) Dad liked to run his on the soft side. If you need anything else mail me.

I had four Bridgestones fitted at Micheldever last weekend and they pumped them all up to 30 psi. No mistaking me taking them down to 22 psi once round a few corners !!! Tyre fitters will put this kind of pressure in tyres as it is the recommended pressure from the manufacturer. I suppose it protects them if it fails etc etc ...

30 psi is most likely ok for that tyre on a normal/heavier car, the tyre fitter proberly isnt taking into account a Tivs lesser weight. Edited by Dave_H on Thursday 30th August 21:27
