  • tire pressures.

    Well i bought new rims and tires. im not too sure what kinda tire pressure i should be keeping them at...they are streched on(not too extreme) on the front(i think) and the rear. So what kinda tire pressure should i be keeping them at? I did some searchin on th forum, ppl seem to be doing 35-40 all four? seem right?

    thanks in advance.

    I have a 225/30 series on the rims that I have for summer. They are 20''. I keep them at 47 psi. For the stock 15'' rims I have I keep them at around 42psi. I guess it depends on the tire. What does it say at the side?

      ...and your pain tolerance depending on how stiff your suspension is and how firm your car seats are!

        35 all around on the 225/40/18s, 34 front, 32 rear on the 15s. 40 not matter what tire if at an autox/track event just to prevent tire peeling off the wheel.
