I'm running 36 psi on all four stock 04 tires. Could this be harmful?

I think the F1 GSD3's have a softer sidewall than the RE 050's do, so you may want to run a slightly higher front pressure to keep a 'crisp' turn-in.


I did notice the wolly turn in. I'll up the fronts to 34 and see how I go!

Anyone running these?

Goodyear F1 GSD3 Front-225/45ZR17, Rear-255/40ZR17

I think 32psi might be a bit low for them
IMO not a good choice for the S2K unless you live in monsoon country. Transients are lousy because of the soft sidewall. However, if it rains alot in your area, then you RULE with these tires.
If you gotta have 'em, then I'd push the pressure up to 34-35 psi to improve the responsiveness.
