Hey Guys, I know its a great debate, but just wondering what you run as far as tire pressure? I am running the recommended pressure on gas flap and my tires feel real soft. I have read people running recommended pressure, some where in between recommended and max and some closer to max. Thanks

 

tire pressure on the car is what is recommended for OEM tires. I assume you are no longer riding on the original tires that came on your car from the dealer when new? There should be recommended tire pressures printed on the sidewall of the tire. Definitely go with that.

As far as running pressures that are "outside the limits" not only will you negatively affect treadwear and tire life, it can also be downright dangerous. Not worth the risk for whatever improvement you think you will be getting.

 

What Beau said!

I ride Falkens, and, from almost 15 years of experience with these tires, on a variety of makes/models, I find that about 10-PSI above OEM works best for MY driving style, which is somewhat "spirited," if I do say so myself. At OEM they tend to feel a bit squirrley in quick lane-change, hard-braking, and low- to mid-speed conering. The PSI I run is well below the max. I'd never even think of approaching max tire PSI. You'd see a much improved gas mileage return, but, the tradeoff in road-holding and excessive center tread wear would not offset the gas savings.

 

Thanks guys, I think Ill do as I have done in past a run somewhere in between manufacturers psi and max psi of actual tires.
