i run just under 40 normally, i think ur meant to be around 35.

go with 35 up front and 90 on the rears, should make it easier to swing the arse out Wink

ill go for a 40 front and 44 rear then, when the tyres heat up then the psi changes slightly anyway too, ill have a play and see (dont wanna try 90psi 2 days before a long trip to bham as i got no spare lol)

i was gonna say ez i think someone's havin you pants down with 90 psi lol i used to do do tyre fitting and the average psi according to the highway code is 33 which i used to have to put in but being as your skyline is bigger i would say aywhere inbetween the line of about 35-40psi i wouldent say anymore or the middle or on the inner wall will wear a hell of alot faster.

yeah, well just went garage and my tyres have 44psi max on the side so iv slammed 44 in the rears and 39 in the fronts, should allow for some fun given the staggered offset of the rears while keeping a safe level of wear and not popping lol
