Ok, I just pumped up the spare tyre in my car(yep, the 1974 Original with hubcap), and realised I had no idea how much pressure to fire into it.

So in conclusion, what's the recommended tyre pressure for a mini, and what are the pressures you run in your tyres?

Cooper S (first Mini with 145-10 radials) used 28F/26R.
I run 30F/28R on the road, on the track I pump 'em up to 36F/34R. Using Yokohama 165/70-10 A008s.

Cheers fella's. Letting em fall to 20 definitely makes the steering sloppy. Much better above 25

Specially the rears. Not good having your rear end think for itself!
