There seems to be a fair variety of tyre sizes fitted to Tuscans over the years.
I've been unable to find the recomended pressures for our car though.

The manual says 25psi all round, but it also thinks the S has 235/40/18 on the front and 245/40/18 on the back.
I guess this is what the old Bridgestones were, but ours has Toyos, 255/35/18 all round.

Anyone know what pressures these are supposed to run at? And any suggestions as to what pressures we should have on track?

hi mark, our friend always runs his on 28psi for track and 24 all round for day to day.

we do the same - both have 18" wheels, seems to handle no probs

Do any two Tuscans have the same tyres I wonder.




Well okay they must have because there aren't that many combinations possible....

Does anyone else have 255/35/18 Toyos all round?

I do, on a 3 month old S.

I run the 25psi the manual says alround (even though for the wrong tyre size). I haven't tried varying it yet, but that is mainly because it feels as if it's happy on those pressures (though I am not so sure the geometry is spot on, so I might treat her to a full 3d laser jobbie).

Laser alignment makes soooo much difference. Well worth £150!
