What PSI do you run

I'm running at factory levels but am on standard tyres however in the past I ran at much lower levels than recommended
is there a general consensus on what to run non run flats on?
 
I switched from run flats to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 with standard stock sizes alloys 225/40/18 front & 255/35/18 rear. I tried running at the recommended pressures but found the ride far to hard. I know some members stick to the same pressures with no issues. I experimented to see what worked for me and have settled at 30psi front 32psi rear. I haven't noticed any abnormal wear either :D

There are loads of threads on the subject if you use the search function :wink:
 
According to these guys, http://www.tyresafe.org/
there is no difference in pressure when running non run flats and run flats. So I've gone along with what they told me and run the same pressure as listed in the door well. Handling and wear are great.
 
I run:

FRONT: 265/35/18 with an 11% stretch on an 11j rim - 40psi
REAR: 305/30/19 with an 8% stretch on a 13j rim - 45psi

coupled with ZERO suspension and no ride comfort and ground clearance = one hell of a bumpy crappy ride :rofl:
 
Pretty sure mine is 2.1 bar on the front and either 2.2 or 2.3 on the rears, according to the door pillar. Can't confirm though as I am nowhere near the car... I think that works out as 31 front and 32 rear - I was quite surprised they are so low, but haven't had the chance to play around with different pressures. Tyres are 225/18/40 up front and 255/18/45 on the rear IIRC, standard non-RF Contis.
 
Just did the air in my tyres this morning.

My car had felt a little bumpy and tramlined far too much.

Set it to 2.2f and 2.6r and drives much better , had been down 0.1 bar front and 0.2rear and that small change made a massive difference.

On 19" staggered with Vreds, setassa. (However you spell it!)

Is it not more bumpy with the added pressure?

I'm running 33/35 on my 19" vredestein as find anything higher is floaty?

I always go 32psi on my 18" wheels seems fine to me I do notice when they drop the steering feels a lot heavier.
 
I'm running 30psi front and 32psi rear, with staggered 18" CSL reps on standard size non run flats and stock M Sport suspension. No uneven wear, no tramlining, and a relatively smooth ride.
 
I changed my runflats last year to Vredstein Ultrac Vortis and after some experimenting settled on 32 front and 34 rears on 18" standard staggered. The ride feels comfortable and in contact with the road.

Sounds a bit low mate, I have the same tyres on my 18" 108s and I run 33F / 36R, can tell the difference when they're lower than that.
