One of the most noobtastic Q's I've had in a while... Tire Pressure.
What should the tire pressure be set to in my tires?
I need to go get my wheels balanced, and i'm gonna just have the rotate and air them up while they're at it... but i've heard a lot of people say that people over do it when they're just putting air in... (don't remember who it was that said it, but i recently remember reading someone say "every time I have someone fill my tires I end up letting out about 12lbs of pressure" or something like that.) So what should I have the tire pressure set to? Stock GSR Rims, with generic all-season tires, if that makes a difference. Thanks as usual. |
35 at the most. 30-35 is your best bet. I run 34/35 in mine daily.
|
Check your max psi on your tire. I usually go minus 3-5 of that.
|
So... yeah, it's been a while since i've read off tire codes...
They're Dunlop Studless, 195/55r15 85q (I think it was a q, lil weird lookin' tho) Max Press. 300kpa (44psi) So I should have them put like 39-40psi into the tires? |
between 32-35 psi
|
Alright guys, thanks for the help, sorry for the mental retardation... haven't dealt with tire problems since auto class in highschool. =P
|
i usaully run 39-40 p.s.i.
|
Christ, you guys run an insane amount of pressure.
:noes: 40psi is way too high. Above 35 psi, ride quality is horrible. Tire wear is concentrated on the center of the tire. The contact patch is reduced, and a savage pothole can ruin your day. The Owner's Manual recommends 29 psi front/rear if I remember correctly. On stock tires, I would stay within 5 psi of their recommendation. Since my suspension setup is already pretty firm, I run 30 front, 28 rear. On interstate treks, I go up to 32/30 and soften up the shocks a bit. This is on 205/45/16s, however. |
35 all day, at the track I dont have skinnies so i put the rear at 40.
|
ended up having em 35front, 33 rear... or vice versa... i just woke up.
