Tyre pressures for 18" Interlagos?

Post by Data Ghost »

Hi All,

Can anyone give me the tyre pressures for my 18" interlagos? There is a sticker in the fuel cap that has covered them.

Cheers!

That's correct Kev, 33 all round for normal loads.

RW1 used to recommend the fronts slightly less (eg 31) to reduce the wear on the centre of the tyres - get overinflated wear patterns otherwise.

Thanks for the replies, I got the sticker off and it said 35. Anyway this is the first time I have checked the tyre pressures since getting the car and one tyre was at 39 and the others were around 37, so I ended up letting air out rather than putting it in.

I ran mine at 35. Burned out the middle of the fronts really quickly.
Now they're at 31.
