Tire pressure

[MvM]

I finally picked up my, , 1994 red/black NSX which I bought a couple of weeks ago. Wheels are Continentals 215/40 front, 265/35 rear, mounted on 17" and 18" BBS-RSII rims.
What tire-pressure should I use for normal street-driving. Judging from another rather exhaustive AND informative thread on tires, tire-patches last week I would say the same as on the standard issue tires. Am I right on this?

I'm running my '91 (215/40 and 255/35 on 17"/18" TSW Revos) at the factory recommended pressures (33/40psi). I have had no problems and seem to be getting good tire wear (Kumho Ecsta Supras).

Thanks for the info. I will check my tire-pressure as soon as I have the chance.
Another question though: Even on a dry road surface I can have the rear tires loose grip, especially in 1st or 2nd in a turn (with TCS on, I'm still very careful)
Does this happen to you to ?

Get higher performance tires and you won't spin so much...

The answer is 'Bridgestone'.
If you can get them, get the S-02's for incredible grip, get the S-03's for less wear.

Rear 2,9 atm.
front 2,7 atm.

Make sure you have the little black box with the adapter from BBS ;-)

Yes, I definitely have to switch tires.
Today, on a wet asphalt highway, I was doing about 60mph (100 km), went to 3rd and floored it and the tail started to wiggle immediateley. Tire profile is still enough at the moment. However, since I just have the car and have to learn it's behaviour I think I will first use up the current tires and then switch.
