r8rs4lf Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I run whatever it says on the tire. I believe something like 32psi? Late- Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsJac Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 32-35 should be your best bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 32-35 should be your best bet that is the best for longest tread life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haynss Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 ive run them at 40 before.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 i have mine at 34 , rides very nice! tread life i could give a crap about, 40 psi is a bit firm for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 i've noticed the pressure fluxuates alot depending on if the tires are hot or cold. should i set the pressure when they are hot or cold? i'm thinking 38psi will give me the best tread life and still be soft enough to drive.

haynss Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 do the tire pressure when its cold to get a true reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generalms02 Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I always thought that you set the pressure when they're hot so that you won't over pressure your tires when they do get hot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron's SS Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 I always thought that you set the pressure when they're hot so that you won't over pressure your tires when they do get hot... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I run my stockers at 34 lbs cold... I've always heard that a hot tire will add 4-6 lbs to the cold number... So 34 would keep you under 40 lbs, worst case. Also got to consider for every 10 degrees outside temp increase, your tires increase 1 psi. Can anyone confirm this? I'm just stating what I've been told...

fox_forma Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 they were just saying on my local news that if your off by 3psi from your max it can help you lose gas mileage, thats seems a little off but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah your mileage will be better, but you'll be buyin tires twice as often. Plus you'd feel like your riding directly on the rims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
