Race Cars: What Tire Pressure Do They Use for Maximum Grip and Performance?
Race car tire pressure varies by vehicle weight. Very light cars (<800kg) use 22-29 psi (1.5-2.0 bar). Light cars (800-1000kg) need 24-32 psi (1.6-2.2 bar). Heavy cars (1000-1400kg) require 28-40 psi (2.0-2.75 bar). Very heavy cars (>1400kg) use 37-40 psi (2.5-2.75 bar). On the other hand, higher tire pressures can improve stability and reduce rolling … Read more
