what sort of tyre pressures are people running on their indy's? mines a pinto weighing 550kgs, and im running 22psi at the front and 20psi atr.

Handling of my (which in suspension terms is not dis-similar to the Indy) Locost was transformed when I lowered the pressures to 18psi all round.

Cheers,
James

I run 18 PSI as well. I find that 2psi make quite a difference. I ran the fronts different to the rears for a short time and found that the car can be make more understeery or oversteery this way. Tune your car to suit your weight balance and handling preferance.
