Best tire pressure for Kumho 155 / 80 13 tires

[loueelotus]

Hi I have read many articles on the tire pressures for Elan radial tire and have tried different pressures to no decision.. What would be the best starting point to obtain the optimal driving in city / country for Lotus Elan S2 65

Thank,
Lou

I think Brian Buckland recommends 5lbs over published values front and rear on modern radials so give 23 front and 28 rear a go. I have been happy with those pressures on my car in normal conditions with either my Michelin XAS FF 155/80-13 or same size Achilles 122 tires. Track pressures may require different settings. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

I go 20 front 25 rear - seems to like it even with a full load of luggage. D

Thanks guys .. I will try the ones you recommend.. I had 20 front in the past and will try again and it was good so now I will try 23 front.. My issue is the higher the pressure the worse the road bumps feel.. and we has some of the worst road's in Canada..Quebec, **La Belle Province**
haha.. Sad state of affairs here..

Best,
Lou
