And if you are fully loaded or are going to do some track work you can bump them up by another 4psi or so.I generally run the rears a bit lower - to help with off the line grip and also if I want to induce a bit of oversteer when I'm pushing hard. And that makes even more sense....thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/486-tyre-pressures/page/3/#findComment-5037 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used maths to calculate what I thought would be the best pressures and it worked. Try these pressures out and see what you think.We have trued these on another XR and they workcheers and enjoy!
