yeah i run 195/60 on 8's front and 8.5's rear. 40psi rear and 36 psi front
I have 195/45's on 8's
On a standard tyre setup with a low tyre pressure the outer edges of the tyre would have greater wear than the centre
With a high tyre pressure you would have greater wear in the centre and less on the outer edges
Optimum tyre pressure at 32PSI has optimum even wear across the board
With a stretched tyre, at 32PSI, I would assume that because of the sidewalls angleing in it would induce a 'dip' in the centre of the contact surface similar to a low tyre pressure. I have increased my tyre pressure to 40PSI to combat this effect and to gain an optimum tyre wear.
Any comments?
i also figure that being able to use such an even higher PSI for a 'drift setup' pressure whilst also giving an extra hard tyre.
Apart from the dangers of beads breaking etc, it sounds ideal.
Any comments?
thanks for your input chumps

i was running 20psi on 8s (195/50r15) i got to start running more pressure. awsome grip! tyres last ages.
i am going to start running 25 psi
^^do u mean the tyres last longer on lower pressure? i though it was the higher the pressure the longer it lasts?
I use 34-36psi in my 215/45 on 17x9's and get fairly even wear considering neg and good ride with sharp response.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (steroidchickens @ Feb 21 2008, 04:57 PM) </div>What pressure were you running when your tyre came off the bead on the Equips? If it was only 20psi then starts to make sense, I know when drifting the tyres will heat up and pressure will increase... or did you clip a kerb drifting to push it off the bead?
20psi?????
Use no less than 30, harder if you need.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (KonaKid @ Feb 21 2008, 06:02 PM) </div>agreed...i had 20psi in my back to tyres (slow leak in both) pretty sure i could feel the rubber being dragged along....
back up to 34 or so, and my car feels 10x faster!! (and bumpier mind you)

20psi on track only. once they heat up the pressure rises.
with 160rwkw on 20psi a new pair of tyres has been lasting me a whole day.
where as on 35 psi i have had a new pair of tyres last me 2 sessions.
more pressure-more smoke-less grip-less life.
less pressure-less smoke-more grip-more life.
to an extent 20psi is a bit excessive. but it worked well.
nah dude when i had the 195s on the rear i was not running 20psi. worked out why tyre popped off bead.
it was to do with the modified valve.
i would not recomend running 195/50r15 streched over a 9" rim on 20psi
Maybe try a 205/50 with 28psi or so for more grip? Just a suggestion.

been keeping up with those 250rwkw nissans no worries haha.
