Marius Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Due to a bad weather-forecast for the weekend in switzerland I´ll have to get out my new CR500 on the Caterham for a hillclimb. Alex recommended me 18psi front & 16psi rear for the ACB10 which works fine but which pressures should I use on the CR500 ? I´ll only put them on in soakin´ rain. Car is a 560kg Vauxhall, 6.5" front & 8.5" rear. Any recommendations ??? Marius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bowden Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I run mine at 18psi F&R on a Super Light. I suspect yours should be slightly higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted August 21, 2002 Author Share Posted August 21, 2002 Hey, everyone fallen asleep out there ?????? I remember a time getting 50 replies on 1 stupid question..... I think I´ll try 18psi then, thanks Paul. Marius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrick Linnett Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I raced for 1/2 a season at Lydden on CR500 tyres and found that 20psi hot all round best for dry conditons. Wet conditions the same, monsoon - 30 psi cold ,the idear is to open the tread patten so the water can escape. The car was a SLR. Try the different pressures in testing. Good Luck! Merrick.
