didn't think they are as good as toyo tr1's in the dry, but seem longer lasting

32psi is more than enough for a lude, 36psi is for a 5 series bmw or audi A6, heavier cars....

to be fair the AVON ZZ3 on thebimmer are really rather good. still fighting after much heavy rightfootedness.
From my experience Avons r great all round and look good too, my missus has avon z5 on her S6... Great in all weather, even snow :twisted: :twisted: And always get 20,000 miles out of them

I've also always ran the lude at 32psi
Interesting as I had the same, but found them a bit lacking in the wet :? My Potenzas instill more confidence.

I will also add that I tried a pair of a avons on the rear on a wet track day and they held the car really well, when I swapped them to the front for more turn in grip I spun on the slowest corner as budget on the rear was a big mistake lol

James, paid £85 per tyre delivered for these. but that is in a 16"... may be cheaper in 17"

I'm not saying 32 isn't a good pressure... I've not experimented enough in a lude to know, but that says 41 for going 100+, so surely if like me you drive like a nutter-bastid half the time and put a lot of load on round the corners 36 is a decent compromise?

Or you'd want more than 32 anyway? And aren't all tyres different?

Again I'm not arguing here, just looking for opinion and it seems to make sense to me.

I will say with some cars I've owned a long time I have played around with the pressures (within reason) to good effect.
