seeing as how its pressure and not the amount of air, right?

Most max psi I have seen is 44 cold. Are you talking about daily driving or AutoX etc?

Hi deez

If your tire is a new model , then this will want a high presure (in cold 31 psi Front and rear) , each tire is diferent but this value is a good point of start for your load in front and rear axle (Weight 1200 Kg if your car weight is near 1400Kg then increae the presure in front and rear with 2 psi) , if you feel that the rear axle have to much grip then increase the presure in 2 psi to achieve a little oversteer.

Tell me news.

people don't understand bar here in America although the conversion is quite simple.

14.7psi = 1 bar.
2.2 bar = 32.34psi
