Tyre Pressure Advice

[acidkid]

Hi just seeking some advice for typre pressure. I got a R32 GTS and running on Federal SS 595 215/45 r17 87v all round i recently change the pressure to 36 psi from 32 psi (i think) and felt some difference. After i stop accelerating i feel the car slows down alot faster without breaking just wondering whats the ideal tyre pressure for my wheels for street everyday use.

Since there is a thread all about tyre size maybe we can start a thread on tyre pressure u guys use wat size tyre, wat psi and your comments thanks

Im running the same tyres on the same car, different sizes.. Im pretty sure there at 36psi.. and im having no problems with them yet..

thx 4 the reply Corinne yea i dunno just feels strange speed drops off really fast maybe i'll drop the pressure to 32 psi again to see if there is any difference

I was always under the impression of:

32 for better grip

36 for better economy (or 38)

I run 34 on 18's, I ran 36 on the 15's I had on my 31.

I don't think it's really gone to hurt if you run anything between 32 - 38 as long as you keep all tyres equal

i'll change my around abit to see if i can notice any difference and post my findings later on

Or 30 front, 32 rear..

32 dead cold, It's normally up around 35-36 hot.
