Default Yokohama R compounds

Hello all,
A friend of mine will be driving a loaner 2004 GT3 with Yokohama
Advan A048 R compound tires in a DE tomorrow. What should his cold tire pressures be?
Thanks in advance, Fiz

He should probably ask the person he is loaning the car from.......

And he should also ask what the hot pressures should be.

I bought and used one set of those when I had my street GT3. They weren't bad in the dry, but worked better in the wet as you could really trust them to displace water, yet still decent grip in the dry spots. I think I was running 30 front, 32 back. They are also the noisiest R compound tires I ever had on that car!

Agreed. Cold pressures vary on conditions. Hot pressures are what you need to know.
