Hi,

What tyre and tyre pressure are you running?

Cheers,
Nik

Couple of months old, Bridgestone RE001's with about 32 or 33 Psi

Maybe start with the basics. Get the suspension checked by your mechanic. (stay away from suspension 'specalists' unless you know their work) If that's OK, try switching the tyres from front to rear. (keep them on the same side) If its OK then get the wheel align looked at. If that's OK then take another GenIII for a spin to compare. If that's OK then sell the car and buy a Commondore.

Try pumping em up a bit, I used to have mine at 33 fr 32 r and didn't like it (they felt squishy) at 40psi front and 36 rear cold (goes up to round 44 fr 40 r when hot) they feel heaps better...

Are you sure? That sounds bloody high lol

Yep, 32/33 is for gramps ....

[alexGT]

remember tyres once hot will increase approx 4psi. I fill mine to 36 COLD that way when you give them a bit they peak at around 40psi... any higher than this and you will get a bouncy oversteery ride (in my case anyway )

Hi, 36/38 cold should be your first look. Cheers, Nik

Perhaps look in to control arm bushes. I had stuffed ones and that made my car do all sorts of strange things on the road.

[RX25SE]

I run 40psi front and 36psi rear in everything.

Just filled them up at 36, I can feel a few more bumps now, but its hard to tell if its made a difference until im on an open road again

Hi, Also, you should never be doing over 110 on a public road anyway, so I'm unsure why this would pose a problem for anyone? Cheers, Nik

On unrestricted roads in the NT of course, Or when i feel like doing 270 in my driveway.

[CodeBurn3r]

Unrestricted is not unrestricted any more :| not allowed over like $140 not i think, maybe less.

Hi, Bingo! Cheers, Nik

Tom, WTF are you running around with such low pressures for? In 45 profile the optimum pressure is in the 35-40psi range. Mine feels fine at speeds over 100 and I have 36psi all around. Also thread drift- but 44 degrees here in Perth today, I was driving around in it for most of the day and NO PINGING!! Boo yeah.

Hey Chad, Havn't seen you on here for ages, How's perth life going? Havn't crashed the 50 seater plane yet?

I just had it set at whatever pressure the bridgestone tyre place set it at,
Good to hear about it not pinging

[skillionaire]

Hi, You can rep me later for checking your tyre pressures, Waltzie. Chad, you should head south mate. We only saw 40 today. Like ice... though I did go and spend a fair amount of money on pedastool fans at Bunnings. Cheers, Nik

Hi Nik, I have awarded you 3 rep points on seperate posts, 36 psi seems much better
