    you're right

    here's a calculator: http://www.csgnetwork.com/presskpapsicvt.html

    he went from what most would call a flat tyre to one able to hold up the sidewalls.

    19.6psi pumped up to 30.5

    no wonder it feels better!

    Yeah I was a bit confused at first too because it only had the reading in kPa at the petrol station, but luckily I had my manual with me and it's got both psi and kPa in it.

    Might have been or might have been rolling over or just running wide. In saying that once I'd had a GN for a few weeks I'd scrape the peg and pipe daily, they're real close to the ground. I had it drifting twice real good too, not deliberatly but held it out and didn't come off. Made some cars look twice tho!
