Ah, yes, O wise one, I'll bet it's BAR vs PSI. I am shamed by my ignorance, but once again saved by the F-Chat masters. Just call me "grasshopper" |

Jim -- The '93 US 512TR OM on the F Owner's Site (Chapter G) says 34 psi front and 31 psi rear (for the Goodyear Eagle GSA tires). Are you sure the label on the car isn't:
2,6 bar front (about 38 psi)
2,4 bar rear (about 35 psi) |

Since you are running Toyo's,
I'd follow the tire recommendations rather then the sticker. Run 5 psi less then the max on the front and 7 psi less on the rear. |

Matt: I'm running TOYO TS-1 all around. I found a previous thread and right now they feel good at 34 front/32 rear, but why is the door sticker so low? What tire runs at 24 PSI? Or is it some other euro pressure measurement?

Are your tires stock? |

OK, I'm embarassed to even ask this, but what have others found to be the ideal tire pressure for a 512TR? The door sticker says 26 front, 24 rear, but this seems way too low. Am I just not used to high performance tires? I tried to search for a previous thread with little success. |
