    Question Pressure for Pirelli P 6000 196/65 R 15 91W (N1)

    Hi, I recently replaced my venerable Michelin XWX with 4 Pirelli P 6000 196/65 R 15 91W (N1). According to your experience, what is the optimal pressure for general (fast) street use on a 2.4S 1973, with stock Koni shoks?
    Thanks for your answer. Massimo

    28 - 30 PSI is what they told me when I had 6000's fitted.

    I'm still putting my car back together, so I can't tell you how it rides.

    I have that size in a Goodyear Eagle Gt, and like Hugh, I prefer to run higher pressures than the original spec. 32 front and 36 rear.

    Thanks to all. I'll keep them 31 front and 35 rear as they are now. Tomorrow I have a 300km historic rally, I guess I'll have good indications ..., if it won't rain
