.2 GT3RS tire pressure for street driving
I drove my RS for over 100 miles this past Saturday , and the car felt fairly stiff , more than usual , and by the end of the day I felt achy.
my son who is in his twenties noticed the same thing
so we were trying to figure out the reason and checked tire pressure multiple times and fronts were 35 and the back were 38
I never checked tire pressure before
so do you guys think the pressure is too high for street driving
have driven car in the past for 50-70 mile trips and despite I felt it was a little stiffer than .1 RS , but not to this degree
so was it the distance or tire pressure or both
any suggestions ??

Were these pressures hot or cold? What was the temp. outside?
Just did about 3 hours straight in my GT3 yesterday coming home from a 2-day track session. So, yeah... I was sore. But a 100-mile trip is nothing.

I keep mine 28 front and 32 rear cold (one PSI below factory recommendation) on both the RS and Touring, and both ride decently. I was just marveling how nice the RS rode on twisty broken pavement yesterday.

Hot or cold, those pressures aren’t particularly high for the street. Within acceptable. Your dash didn’t give you a warning I presume? As for the harshness, I find the .2 RS to be much more compliant on the street than the .1 GT3.

As Brosef mentioned, I had the same exact problem as you did and then did some homework on here and calling around to different suspension shops. Seems like the consensus is to reduce the cold pressure 5 psi both front and rear from the Manuf. recommended pressures. The new pressures made a huge difference for me. Could be my imagination but car felt much more planted and no more squirrely/ twitchy feel. I also adjusted my rear wing down I notch and also seemed to help.

agree with your description that also the car felt twitchy
I think I will lower pressure by 5 psi and see what happens
