tire pressure......
Wednesday, July 12, 2006 3:00 PM
okay I'm a little bit confused since I got new tires which is actually the proper tire pressure to stay at.........on the side of the tire it shows 44psi and on the side of the door on the sticker for my tire size it saying 30 Psi.........and I do not want these tire to crack and everything else like my old tires did?

If you've got the same size tires as stock I'd go around the 30 psi given on the door panel sticker, give or take a few psi. The rating on the sidewall is MAX psi for the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr). DO NOT inflate to this level for daily driving, its meant for extreme circumstances when the vehicle has a very heavy load, hence the gross weight.

I've got 14's for the moment and the tires say 46 on the side, I run between 29-33 depending upon the time of year and temperature outside due to temp/pressure gradient...I'm too lazy to keep it identical all year round and gas stations around here are 50cents per minute and generally are broken.

If you plan to go to the track, pressure/track temp/traction is a whole new ball game, one of the monthly track junkies can chime in if that's your cup of tea.

i've always been taught kind of a rule of thumb. take the max psi on the side of the tire and subtract 10psi for daily driving. my tires are 44psi max and i've always ran between 30-35psi. my tires have always worn evenly and never had any problems.




GO PATS!!!

if you give me the tire size you are running now i can find out the pressure you need. i have the inflation tables from MAST (Michelin). basically i need to know a few things first.

what is you original tire size: p195.65r15, 205/55r16, etc.

second of all, i need the new tire size: is it a p195/65r15 or is it a 195/65r15 (one is p-metric, the other euro metric), once you give me that info, i can do the table conversion for you.



Injection is nice but id rather be BLOWN!
