But this is about tyre pressures :smilewide:
88" S3 with 235 85's AT's on weller wheels with tdi up front.
Standard springs on front & para's on the rear(yes I know its
not ideal)
What are the thoughts on tyre pressures as 30psi feel damn
bouncy which has been my starting point!

I wouldn't have thought that was a bad starting point
Easiest is to look at the contact pattern on the tyre ... Outer
edges to soft, middle to high
Wet the road in front of the tyres and roll forward ... You will
see the contact pattern on the tyre/road

ton on board....

We run anything from 30psi upwards on ours. Of course one of
the front shockers is U/S so that corner bounces no matter the
tyre pressure! ;D

Running 25psi in front (750/16) and 30psi in rear (235/85-16)
feels ok.

Cheers lads, looking at all the recommendations, I dropped them
all around (unladen) to 27 psi and did a weekend of laning on
that ;D Felt a bit more secure on the tarmac than at 30psi but
that could have been my imagination :smilewide:
