Around_The_World Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Hi all First full post. Chuffed to be here. Still smiling every time I remember I now own an Esprit, let alone drive it! Any one able to give a view on tire pressure pls? My GT3 has 350 OZ Magnesio 5 spokes on it with 235/40 7R17 front and 285/35 R18. Hand book suggests 2.0 bar front and rear for a V8 but that’s 150KG heavier than the GT3. Thanks in advance. Many more posts likely to follow as I work through my TLC list 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution CarBuff Posted October 31, 2022 Solution Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 My research said the pressures you found are correct, even for a 1994 S4/S4s. (29PSI/2.0 BAR Front, 31PSI/2.1 BAR rear.) Those are the pressures I have been running since fitting our Esprit with larger wheels due to tyre availability. Beware of lowering the front pressures, you definitely don't want to bend those Magnesio wheels! 🙄 Quote Atwell Haines '88 Esprit Succasunna, NJ USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around_The_World Posted October 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Thank you appreciate it! Not so good you have to fit larger wheels as no tires that fit 😬 Couple of the wheels do need a refurb. From what i have read that would need to be done in an airless environment. Think there’s another post to follow here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
