Well, in theory, you should increase the pressures as the sidewall reduces.

HOWEVER............................................

The standard set up on 205/55 16's (2.1 BAR @ F/1.9 @ R) & is set up to slightly lean towards the safer understeer (higher pressure up front), but I personally like 2 BAR (29 psi) all-round on my 225/40 18's. :afro:

Your generous I would have said put none in head for a long stretch of deserted motorway and floor it and when at about 130mph yank the steering wheel hard to the right the handbrake could also be used in conjuntion with this for added affect. Make sure you let us know what happened.  :grin:

Who are they, got a link?  Pretty good price.  When they getting fitted?  The fitters might know the correct PSI.  If not, tell us who they are, we'll make sure they fit them properly.
