18" Michelin Slicks
I'll be running MIchelin slicks for the first this this weekend. 30/35/18 Front, 30/68/18 rear.
Anyone have a good reference for tire pressures? Thanks for the input guys and gals. |

Anyhow, I have had good success running those at 25 PSI cold. Pirelli slicks I run at 28 PSI cold. The reason for this is that the MICHELINS have a stiffer sidewall than the pirellis. BOTH these tires like ALOT of camber. I run -3.6 in front and -2.4 in the rears. The TOE IN TOE OUT setting should be basically NEUTRAL. Also the Michelins are a little WIDER than the pirellis of the same size. The Michelins to me seem a little stickier tire than the pirellis. The pirellis will last longer.

OOps, typo - correct 30/65/18
Thanks for the feedback. I've been running Pirelli's as well - same cold pressure; 28. Get them to 32-34 psi, they are consistent. I'll start them at 25 as you suggested. Does anyone ave experience with Hoosiers A7/R7 - feedback I received for A7 is start at 40 psi - seems way too high for cold starting pressure. Can;t find any info from the web. |

What size wheels are you running with 30/65/18? Have 18x11” Apex and considering trying Michelins.

Run them at 23-24 PSI cold. The slicks like as much camber as you can throw at them.
