tire psi

[Evol06]

Just out of curiosity does anyone know what the rule of thumb is with tire psi. should i just follow what manual recommends 29/32psi front/rear or whatever. any help is much appreciated. I got michelin pilot sport ps2,they say max 51psi.thanks

to be honest I used to do 34PSI on all four then I switched to 29/32 but I guess I should do 40PSI on all four now :D.

what if you have low profile tires...like 255s 18 inch?

Max PSI is printed sidewall of the tires, i always go -10 psi from the MAX..

It's really crazy how sensitive Evo's are with tire pressure. When I got a new set of tires it felt like something was wrong big time. After checked tire pressure I found them to be 4-8 psi off and you can REALLY feel it especially at higher speeds. I always just stuck with 29/32 and the steering felt razor sharp.

5-10 psi from the max is a good rule of thumb. I go 35 all around on stock size tires.

I think Im pushing it on my Im running some Yokohams, max rate is 42, I run them at 40 at all times. huhmm I wonder if this might be kinda bad considering that when tires heat up, the air expands. IDK 40 psi feel good lol

you'll be ok.....considering that the gauge is always off a couple of psi's!!!

Thats good, then, since I was not really considering trying to lower my psi LOL, my car feels good at this setting.

i run about 36-38 when auto-xing, ill run about 30-32 for DD

[ricardomotorhead]

well I guess the PSI numbers would very it all depends upon what kind of tires you are running.

I am running Michelin Pilot Sport a/s plus (235/45 ZR17) tires...

I think I will go 34 front and 31 or 32 rear.

the front should have lower pressure than the rear tires, or go same pressure on all 4.....

I believe higher psi the better on dd better even tire wear. and gas miles.

I was running max 30psi on a032 adavans and man I shoudl have maxed teh psi out for better longer wear.
