It is a common misconception that overinflating your tyres will provide more responsive handling and greater fuel efficiency. In fact, over-inflation is detrimental to the tyres and can be dangerous. For the best handling and fuel efficiency, you should adhere to the manufacturer's optimum tyre pressure.


Interesting, but are the recommended pressures correct? I've previously had an Exige approx 1150 kg and an Evora at circa 1350 kg, from memory the Exige ran at 32/34 psi and the Evora 34/36 psi, I had the Aero on the scales a few months back and it was about 1275 kg, so 25 psi feels a bit low by comparison.
