Default what pressures are you running - I'm thinking of increasing what I normally run >

up to say 43f 41r - and no, rubbing won't be an issue. Can't get them mounted til Monday though :-(

Default Why so high?...>

With a profile that low and tread that wide seems you'd have unusualy high center tread wear (plus they'll beat you to death)...

With your car as light as it is those pressures would probably reduce your contact patch..

Default I dunno - thought I'd start there and back off, but that's why I asked >

I like running 41.5f /39r and could start there. I admit I'm frightened of pinching a sidewall of my new tires on a pothole - so much so that I might buy the 'hazard protection' for the first time in my life - though since it's half the cost of one tire, I might just chance my luck...

I'd bring those pressures down...that seems too high.

Default with that big sway bar in the back, you should try to run tire>>>

pressures the same all the way around....it should make the car a little more neutral, especially being a frontrak .....unless you like the oversteer...

also, 2psi increments is recommended for noticeable performance changes...

Just a thought ;-)

As schwing notes....that is a lot of meat on a light car.....so a bit lower on the pressures would be better...they should still protect the rims fine.
