    Had the HGTE handling portion(wheels,tires,sway-bar springs,etc.) of the kit installed on my 07 599. Car seems fine but was wondering what tire pressure are people running on their cars with this kit?

    Kevin- You should really call Steve Harris Imports for that info. I am sure there is a technical bulletin on pressures for the PZero Corsas that they will have on MODIS. Until then, the 32 psi F, 29 psi R of the original Pirellis would be a good starting point. Tire pressures were the same for the 360 with PZeros and the CS with Corsas, but the F430 was 32 F&R with PZeros and the Scud was 31 F and 29 R with Corsas, so no correlation. On the 575M, pressures remained the same for the regular PZeros and the Corsas on the HGTC model.

    Not much help, unfortunately. There was likely no HGTE owners manual, but maybe an 08 or later owner of a 599 can look in his OM for you. Better yet, an HGTE owner can just look at his tire sticker in the door.

    I just replaced my HGTE tires with one size larger Pilot Sport 4S. They are a huge improvement! Car totally hooks up now. I noted in the 599 workshop manual that the Pilot Sports take 2.6 bar in front and 2.0 bar in the rear. The P-Zeros take 2.2bar in front and 2.0 bar in back. This is noted on page 455 of the workshop manual.

    The +1 PS4S sizes work great. The diameter is very close to the HGTE factory P-Zero tires. There is no clearance problem.
