    Oh my goodness, take a chill pill dude, it was said with the

    Do you just look for ways to get people angry or does it come natural. I know it's hard to sometimes pick up on how something is said, but I was attempting to be ironic. For me to call Craig a slow driver is ironic, I know this because I have been to a few runs, meetings, knockhill etc with him. I guess you need to know people on here before you can really understand them. Certainly judging on the NMS site comments alone is nearly impossible.

    Dude, i think it's you that needs to chill.

    I'm well aware he's not a shy driver, i chased him back from Knockhill last time i was up in a twin turbo legacy.

    I'm not trying to make you angry, you just seem to take everything i say too seriously.

    Alright?

    Interesting Ryan, I never run that low think I will try that when I get back see what the difference is. I'm sure I have mentioned this before, but when I first got my new mini I checked the tyre pressures and they were 48-49 psi all round don't know to this date what that was all about.

    30 32 sounds good.

    Back when i had my little saxo i used to run 30/34 but the extra in the rears were to compensate for the slightly feeble RARB and 19mm bars

    Does anybody actually use the tyre pressures stated in the manual ? I'm pretty sure it states 37/38 psi for the 17" runflats on my car (which is what I've got my tryes at) but, judging from the previous comments, it sounds like I should consider reducing by at least a few psi ?

    I've not noticed any excessive wear on the centre of the treads (which would normally be a symptom of over-inflated tyres) and, if anything, the edges are probably more worn than the centre (cornering too hard perhaps ).
