I inflate my 008’s to 28/26. Some of the members in our club run as high as 30/28 for daily use. I find the ride a bit more harsh at that level. Thoughts?

Personally I use 28 all round, 30 seems too hard, but 28 is too bouncy on the front, over speed bumps etc.

30 all round is better on a 12 inch tyre

I have a set of 10x6 wheels and run A032's and use 28/26. Personally i find this right for handling and not too bouncy.

All matter of opinion, and personal preference but I find a032's 008's best on 31psi, used to have 12's on 28psi, but when running ten's was getting too much sidewall roll wearing the outer edge out.

For the Midas it's mad, 28 front 21/22 back, works a treat on A539's.

Drove a 200 mile run today over twisting, up and down roads on 10” A008’s, 28/26. Grin factor-high.

I have 10” A008s running 28/26 as well. I've found 2-3 PSI either way is noticeable.

Oh I’ve always been running 35psi all round! No wonder my ride is so hard!
Although since my wheels leak, they’re all usually mid 20s by the following week after I pump them up.

What pressures have used on 12" running 165 Yoko's?

I've had brand new suspension all around and new rubber and even after a couple of years my ride is still very 'bouncy'.

Tyre pressure is really dictated by weight, so 28 front 26 rear is a decent starting point with any tyres on a fairly standard car.
