Tire/tyre pressure

Post by nwk00 » Tue Feb 25, 2014 5:52 am

Hi,

just wondering what is everyone running?

I checked mine and it was 38+ front and 39+ rear PSI. Reduced it to the recommended 38/35 PSI for moderate loading. Must say the ride is much more compliant now.

Does air vs nitrogen make any difference with the recommended pressure. I am running nitrogen at 40psi all around I believe. Will check tomorrow for sure.

Think it depends what wheels you're on. On the drivers door Sticker said it is 42 front, 38rear on 265/30/20. seems kind of high to me, might let a bit of air out.
Air vs nitrogen wont make any difference to pressure. Nitrogen is just more stable so there will be less fluctuation between cold and warm pressure, as there is with air.

sidzz,

do you or anyone knows if the recommended pressure is with the load in the car during time of measure? There are two readings. 3 passengers and small amount of luggage and 5 passengers and full amount of luggage.

thanks
