I don't remember the figures but i'll take a look and post later. Anyway i wanted to ask smth different. Since we are talking aobut RF tires, what to you think is best to give a little more confort since u mentioned lowering the pressure slightly. Some say that lowering the pressure slightly causes even harsher ride since the car roll more on the side walls. Some say to increase the pressure. But increasing will only make the tires harder overall.

common sense tells me that the higher the pressure the harder the tire = harsh ride, no???
I don't see how lowering the pressure and rolling more the tire side would make the ride harder????
ahhhh only if we talk about the RF's there you would be rolling on those steel reinforced sides which would be real harsh...... IMHO the RF's are jsut way too hard either way
