I've just gone to 38 all round.
Was running 33 front and 30 rear as suggested by my tyre man.
Finding it a firmer ride but seems more sure footed. Went to Alrewas via the M6 Toll on Sunday and did a bit of heavy foot when the speed limiter was distracted. The temp rise lifted them to 41 at one point. It was a very hot day for here in the UK.

Cheers Ray. I think I may go down to 35 all round, see if I notice a difference. If not I may go to 38 all round too. The weather was great wasn't it, hard to imagine given the change today.

Very smart Ray!
Don't let the speed limiter get hold of those white gloves or she will start directing traffic as well!

I'm sure I saw you on a packet of fish fingers a while ago.

Only joking, you do look very smart Ray!

What was the event, or is that your usual Sunday driving attire?

At fifteen I managed to gain a place at an Army Apprentices College and I have become Editor of our Old Boys Association magazine (for my sins).
There were four of these establishments, Arborfield, Carlisle, Chepstow and Harrogate. Main difference between them being the trades that they taught. I was at Chepstow, the camp is still there under the Severn/Wye Bridge but sadly the colleges are no more.
The four Old Boys Associations have joined together and funded an Army Apprentices Memorial at the The National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas. We now hold an annual memorial service there on the second Sunday in May.
Here is another photo that Gwen took.

That's excellent Ray. Very commendable!

P.S. What tyre pressures do you run? I have them at 37f and 40r. Seemed close to the nearest size in the guide on the fuel filler cap. Seems a little skittish TBH

When is the last time you had a proper 4 wheel alignment done? It could also be the tyres your running but I run 40psi all round and it runs straight and true at any speeds, even ones I can't talk about.
