Swapping RFTs
Guys,
Just got the C43 Sedan on Saturday and will be swapping the Pirelli rft for Firestone Indy 500's after much review.
The recommended PSI in the car's gas cap is related to rft tires only? Does that recommended pressure also applies to non rft tires as well?
Thanks

I run tire pressure based on a few things:
1. Recommended PSI is a good place to start
2. visually how the tire looks, under load, at various PSI
3. How the PSI feels while driving
4. How the tires are wearing
5. how much gear/people I'm packing in the boot
I like to see the weight of the vehicle roll the tires edge over MINIMALLY
And if the tire is wearing on the outside it's under inflated, wearing in the middle = overinflated.

Interesting post. I was actually just looking at the Indy 500 tires yesterday. They seem to be getting very favorable reviews and are dirt cheap with the tirerack rebate. I may get these over as3+/dws..
Btw, How is the new ride?

My understanding from all the reviews that I've been reading, is that this summer tire is about 90% of what you get with the the Michelin pilot super sport for half the price.
My fronts are on backorder at tire rack so I won't get the full set for two more weeks. I will report back on them
As far as the air pressure for the tires after some review it seems that I have to continue to use the adviced pressure that is on the gas filler cap
