What Tyre pressure in Semi Slicks

[Papercup]

i was after 888s but they were out of stock when i ordered and i needed something fast
 
i got Yokohama A048s and have found them excellent. I run 24 in them.
 
i\'ll get 888s next and report back what i think compared to the Yokies
 
one thing; they don\'t half wear quick

I tried running 26F and 25R for my last race.  The back end felt a lot more planted

what kind of tyre are you using?  X-ply or radial(spelling?)

[AtomicRex]

The tyres are 230 x 620 x 17 in a Radial all round.

R888? or Avon?

Just noticed that dunlop recommend 22psi for RWD cars. They say 26 for FWD saloons?

A/Rex thanks for info:Thumbs-up  and that\'s a different from road tyre like R888, Dunlop,Kumho etccc.
like to explaining  more about various make of tyres but too long to write about it.

once time, used to race with Kumho V700 soft and boy! its brill!!(just a good as ACB10, kumho better in the wet)
Good for short run like sprint/hillclimb and it\'s grip better than R888.
most folks say it\'s S**T! and why?? it\'s pub talks
look at the  tarmakrally boys using Kumho tyres and they\'re driving hell lots better than fun day boys/girls driving with R888:xconfused
Proper setting up suspension system ,corner weight and steering geometry(correct bump steer) will make a hell lots better.

Have spent a lots of money and time to set-up the car proper to match the Kumho ,it\'s made a lot different and when install R888 tyre, the handling went out of the window!! waste of money and time but learning from it\'s worth a reward.:Thumbsup!
Still got 225/50/16 and 215/50/16 R888 , 800 miles wear and I\'m wishing never buy it in the first place!:mad:
