Owen at Performance Tyres fit a new set of Grid 3s to my car on Saturday (185/60/14).
He does appear to be very knowledgeable on the subject of tyres, and his recommendation is that they be set at 40psi when cold - they increase to around 44psi after normal driving.

This seems a much higher pressure than I have heard discussed before. The ride is not too harsh - Owen was also able to tell me that from the state of the Kelly tyres that he took off, my driving does not excite the car anyway, although aren't Kellys supposed to be caressed and cherished? - but what do I know.

I would be interested to hear comments on running at this high pressure.

He also suggested that I have the wheels aligned, not to the car manufacturer's specifications, but to the requirements of the tyre. What are your thoughts about that idea.

Thanks

Regards

David Moughtin
