I've just moved from Bridgestones to Eagle F1's all round and am running at 20 front, 30 rear.

[NickyTwoHats]

Thanks all.

So what's right?
Where's Joust when you need him?

Nick -depends what tyres you have! If you have standard SO3s then Twerlie is right (18/28), if you have Corsas then Jenx is right (20/30). Others use slightly modified pressures to suit their particular needs (eg track.

AFAIR standard SO3's were always 18/27psi (factory spec)

[RobP]

DOh -think you're right Rob, but what's a lb between friend? Probably less than the variance between pressure guages!

Also, the answer can be found in the wiki faq bit:

I haven't done a track day so couldn't comment - yet....

However on road I'm really impressed. The Bridgestones were very twitchy, always kicking the back end out in 2nd in the dry. In the wet, Sunday driving only.

But now, the Eagles are brill. In the dry I stay straight when I floor it, great for cornering (I still bottle it before the Noble) and the wet is definately a marked improvement.

I've had 2 emergency stops to do on the motorway, one in Bridgestones and one in Eagles. Bridgestones I locked up and boy did I pucker. In the Eagles, as soon as I braked hard, it was rapid, controlled and confidence was there instantly due to the feel and knowing I was gonna stop.
