What tyre pressure for 19s?

- Start date
I also run 35psi (2.4 bar) all round on the street... On the track I lower them to around 32psi and lower, when they get heat up by track driving they are back on 35psi from the heat. Personally I never exceed 35psi... Before I knew anything about tyre pressure I did not lower my tyre pressure on track; so they got too hot and the pressure was around 40psi. The grip was terrible and the tires got really soft...Beedub said:i run the bmw spec CSL tyres pressures @ 35psi all round.... these feel nice to me, ideally you want them to be around 40psi HOT according to a michelin Tyre engineer is spoke to @ a competition i won last year

apparantly these high performance michelin tyres were designed to run 40psi hot..... i can only pass on valuable info learned on a proper michelin tyre testing day.... ever since then ive ran what the engineer told me too and i have to say theyve performed great... i do find the tyres overheat quickly on the track but they are road tyres at the end of the day.... not track tyres.
