Tyre PSI??

On the sidewall of the F1's its suggest 44 PSI max. I just want to know what PSI do you guys run in your F1's as a daily driver. At present I am running 40 all around, but feel a little bouncy.

Let me know your PSI.

Open your fuel door and see for yourself

Ahh I will just tell you. 32 psi. 40 is way high.

I run a little less than 40 on the fronts, 3-4 lbs less in the rear. About 5 lbs more all the way around at the track (one that has turns). My tire wear has always been perfect, even when driven like my sig pics.

Jesus H Christ. When did you ladies decide to start following the stickers? The sticker says 380 HP. Do you follow that one?

You pathetic pansies. F*ck the sticker. That pressure is for weenies and old women. F1s with 32 pounds feel like marshmallows. If you wanted a Deville, you should have bought one.
