Hmmm GTA tyre pressures

Has anyone experimented with tyre pressure for normal road (fast) use.

the handbook recommends front@2.6bar rear 2.4 bar - this gives a firm ride a firmer ride

but what happens to grip?

Re: GTA tyre pressures

I run with 2.4 bar all round with PS2s. Slightly better traction, slightly better comfort. 2.6 is quite bouncy I find..

Re: GTA tyre pressures

Interesting - With higher pressure i find the ride to be firmer and feel the road more - but it feels right in the corners and at speed.

thanks for the comments and links
