[TR] TR6 air pressure?

[Dave]

Depends on what you want.  The TR6 suspension was designed around the fact that high profile tires inflated to those pressures will provide the bulk of road isolation.  Wider tires and high inflation will make the ride more harsh.  On the other hand, some consider the car's ride in original form too soft for a "Sports Car" and some additional harshness is tolerable, especially if the  handling is improved in the process.  I'm in the latter camp and I run 28 front, 32 rear keeping the 4 PSI differential but moving the pressures up the scale equally.  But I am running poly bushings, an up-sized front sway bar and a rear sway bar.  Fun in the twisties.

Hello List,
With a stock suspension TR6 for normal driving with 205/70-15 tires.
The Glove Box door label says 20front, 24rear, of course that was then with 185SR15's.
What would be a preferred air pressure please?
Thank you.
Bob
