from what i have read most people have been happy with the original manufactureers pressures and i wouldnt have thought they would be too far out so just try sticking with them for now and see how you go

I have always found running 34 psi all round is good for the Escos and the ST.

The Sapph needs 36psi on the Toyo T1R's othewise the feel a bit sloppy.

cheers alex

yeah i have toyo T1R's n put 34psi and they keep going flat on me and ruining the tyres, i thought it was down to the alloys oxidizing on the inner rim

think it could be too little psi

i'll try putting 36psi in

(i thought i was putting too much in at 34psi)

have you checked your valves arent dodgy as they could be a reasonfor your tyres goin down.

also i rememberreadin somethin on here about dodgy wheels that let your tyres deflate as they dont seal properly or something

mind you you prob wouldnt notice a flat due to the extreme low profile u've got on (if thats you car in your sig.)
