I know this may have been asked already, but what tire pressure is "recommended"/what tire pressure do you run. Mine came from the dealer with 50 psi front driver, 43 psi passanger front. and 32 in the back. I looked in the manuel and it said, 32or 35, but the tires seem low now, which is where I have them now. the max on the tire sidewall says 50, what gives. the only reason I'm conserned is that I now have to use my srt to commute 80 miles a day, the 91 olds had a little problem, I was driving and the steering wheel suddenly readjusted itself about 30-45 degrees to the right. I really don't want to drive it till I can figure that out. So I want to make sure I am doing my srt tires justice. PEACE

 

Check the max psi's on your tire. then subtract 5-10 psi for all tires. i cant recall off my head the psi, but i always range between 5-10 psi: this will prevent wear & tear, better braking, acceleration, etc.
As far as the 32 psi goes, that for winter spec....

Peace

Tire pressure from the dealer is always off because they don't check it. Mine was the same way. Personally I'd stick with the numbers posted on your door, that way if one of them blows and the dealer gives you a hard time over the warranty, you can show him that at least the othe 3 tires were up to spec. BTW, don't forget to check the donut spare!
When I drove for Southwest Research at the General Tire Test Track, we always used the numbers recommended by the car maker, not the max shown on the tire wall. Never had any blowouts up to 120 mph, although we had a few flats driving to and from the track!!!![sm=smiley36.gif]

 

I would recommend the factory specs, but you can go up to the 50psi. The tire warranty is from the tire manufacturer and not the dealerships. The higher the tire pressure the less rolling resistance there is.[sm=smiley2.gif]

 

didnt know that... thanks

 

Good i was wondering the same thing. thanks for the imput all.

 

The obvious advantage w/ the higher pressure is better gas mileage and better top-end acceleration, but you won't hook up as well in lower gears (I run mine at 50 psi though, and haven't had any problems- I'm sure that will change once I get the s2 on).
I'm hitting the track this week to try different pressures- I'll let you know what I find out. One of my buds is running 25 psi with a water box burnout, and that seems to be working for him- obviously not applicable to daily driving, though.

 

Cool!!! thnx for da tip

 

From what I've read, higher tire pressure is better for traction/hooking up with radial tires and lower pressures only have a negative effect on them. Lower pressure with slicks get them to hook up better.

 

Guess I'll be heading out to the nearest air pump!!![&:]
