If stock tire size try 24 front 28 rear as a starting point and experiment a bit to find ride/handling compromise you like.

Re: Tire pressure T1 coupe
Good for you. In hindsight I should have said the pressures I listed were to start and go higher from them testing. I usually like more than 2 lbs difference so you still might want to experiment a bit.

I've noticed a difference in handling depending upon if I am just out for a drive or loaded up like our Rennsport Reunion trip. I may bump up the rear tire pressures a bit when carrying luggage.
