Tyres

Stupid question, Do low profile tyres take the same amount of psi as satandard tyres??

Take the advice of the manufacturer on pressure, but as a rule yes they do. (32psi is a standard that works with most tyres, but some manufacturers recommend slightly different pressures for optimum performance)

I have 265/35's @ 38-39 psi

I'm not sure what the recommended is meant to be but they don't look to be over inflated

265/35/18 - 39psi

32 or 34 was way too low.

[mr_rbman]

i run 32 psi on the front and 40 psi on the rear (17x45x235)

For the lower profiles you need to start running higher pressures. What size do you have? I'll tell you what we (Tyrepower) usually put in them

265/35 18 on the rear and 235/40 18 on the front. on the tyre reads max 50 psi, ive got 40 psi in the rear at the moment and 38 psi in the front.

i usually put 38 in them, most tyres usually say dont inflate above 44psi, id tend to stick below 40, just incase.

[Madaz]

i quiet often put 40 in mine and with vigorous driving they warm upto 44 anyways

Why more in the back? There's less weight there....

36/34 cold works well for me. At 40psi I had wear in the center of the tread ie over inflated.

We'd usually put 38 all round. As Busky2k mentioned, monitor the tyre wear, if it's wearing in the middle, you need less pressure, if it's wearing on the edges you need more pressure.
