I'm about to run these tyres for the first time and was wondering if someone could give me some help with COLD tyre pressures. And what is the optimum HOT pressure i should be aiming for.

I'm running these on my Toyota Supra, i'm asking you guys because the GTR and Supra are around the same weight and would like to save some time chasing the optimum pressure for these tyres.

Thanx :rant:

We use these on a GTS-t and maintain 30-32 PSI hot. Start at around 24-25 PSI Cold and adjust from there.

Which track and how many laps?

Ian do you start with same pressures front and rear left and right? generally you will get 2-3psi extra heat in front v rear and 2-3psi inside v outside tyres. So for example Oran Park if you are aiming for 32 all round maybe start with

RF 25

RR 27

LF 27

LR 29

Duncan, yes I start with around 25 psi all round and adjust at the finish of 1st Superprint 3 flat out laps. At EC RF and RR are always higher after running than LF and LR and I adjust all to 31 PSI.

Dont be worried to much about COLD pressures as long as they are ball park it will be fine . The key is to get to your designated hot pressures asap . Say 38psi is your target ( thats mine for toyo888's) ill start cold at 35psi do my sprint ( 4 laps) and when car returns to pits quickly reset pressures to my target of 38 psi as they have usually gone over this . Ill do this for the next seesion and then find that they are all at my optimal pressure by the third sprint and no need to reset.

32 psi Hot sounds a little low but hey all tyres are different that's why i am asking.

What i'll do then is start at 28 psi cold and work down until i reach about 32psi HOT.

I'm doing a track day at Eastern Creek, 20 min session, 5+ hot laps taking into account warm up and cool down laps, good point about the pressures front to rear and side to side, i'll monitor it and let you guys know.

Thanx again

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
