Hi!
Can't be any bunkier than mine.

would anyone know whats a good tyre pressure (psi) to put into my 18's for the day?

40 on the front, 50 on the rear.
I use this for a better turn in but less traction on the rear for some happy times. If you want performance, as stated above, 40 all round.

As long as you're not ripping the handbrake/drifting then they don't really mind

As said 40 psi is cool. Personally I run 40 psi all day every day, but thats just me. Don't want much sidewall flex.

I think I'll do a quick toe and go wheel alignment before it aswell, the joys of working at a Tyre Shop :D

Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me. An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do. Don't drink and drive, you might hit a bump and spill your drink. You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on. Stay busy, get plenty of exercise, and don't drink too much. Then again, don't drink too little. Time is never wasted when you're wasted all the time. One reason I don't drink is that I want to know when I am having a good time. A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine, except that on a day without sunshine you can still get drunk. I stopped drinking, but only when I sleep. This is one of the disadvantages of wine: it makes a man mistake words for thought. Cigarettes and coffee: an alcoholic's best friend !!!! When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they always worked for me. The consumption of alcohol may cause pregnancy. A man who exposes himself when he is intoxicated, has not the art of getting drunk. A bartender is just a pharmacist with a limited inventory. I drink to forget I drink. Alcohol is necessary for a man so that he can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed be the facts. Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water. The whole world is about three drinks behind. I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

They don't find if you get it sideways here and there, but if you spin out, keep your boot planted, and smoke the whole skid pan out, THEN they get a bit upset... Speaking from experience :P

And I agree with Lachlan, 40psi all day every day.

40 - 45 psi should be cool. Basically the higher the better

Had a chat with the boss (30+ experience with all manner of cars and their subsequent wheels and tyres and he knows what he's on about) and I will be runing 50psi all round.
