OH RB Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Does anyone have the figure for the correct air tire pressure for Skyline R33 GTS25t Series II on the each of the 4 tires?

sneki81 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 i suppose it would depend what size tyres they are if you have the normal 16" then somewhere between 32-34psi would be fine.

OH RB Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 my car runs on stock wheels. I wonder if the front and rear got different figures? as I've seen the figures for other cars tire pressure and the fronts figures are always different from the rears.

Don't necessarily follow the tyre placard as they are usually settings that achieve best comfort rather than best performance. (Although this isn't always the case) I run my pressures (stock 17" rims) at 40psi. The best thing to do is monitor the way the tyre is wearing. If the outside edges are wearing more rapidly than the centre, your pressures are too low, and vice versa. Keep in mind there are other factors that can influence tyre wear though, such as wheel alignment, driver, etc...

Beleive me, ive worked at 3 car dealership service workshops during my apprentice ship years ago.. and that was like the universal one size fits all tale. like i said, it depeneds on the tyre and the load the tyres on my Toyota Hilux i pump it to 55Psi cause anything lower than that, it looks flat...

sneki81 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 i guess its up to the owner at the end of the day then really. when ever i have had new tyres put on the cars ive owned they generally get pumped up to 32-34ish. but from what ive read from other people today afew are running at 40+. just have a look on the side wall of the tyre and see if it has recommended psi and go with it.

Well I wasn't just rambling either...I worked at 2 dealerships during my apprenticeship and then for a general workshop after that. And never did anyone I work with tell a customer to put 32psi into a sports car tyre. Anyway, I'm also sure your hilux is probably running light commercials, not road car tyres. I also put 50+ psi into those kind of tyres, but wouldn't recommend it to OH RB for his skyline... And I wouldn't class my tyres as 'lacking pressure'. They are wearing fine and the car uses about 11L/100km. So in the end, don't put 55psi into ur skyline tyres lol. If it were mine they would be up around 40, and monitor it from there.

blind_elk Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The tyre pressure is more controlled by the tyre itself. Check the manufacture's tech data for the recommended pressure. Most manufacturers (car and tyre) recommend a pressure that will aid in the comfort of the ride, ie they are a bit soft. Add at least 2 psi all round, then add another 2 psi to the fronts.

SLEEPR85 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 my car runs on stock wheels.I wonder if the front and rear got different figures? as I've seen the figures for other cars tire pressure and the fronts figures are always different from the rears. You would see this mainly on track cars where individual tyre pressure's are essential for cornering, e.g. more psi in the back = more over steer, less on the front = more grip but more body roll and understeer..... its a fine line! I usually run 35psi on my 18's and find that its a good balance between tyre wall stiffness and grip. Hope this helps you....

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 You should have a tyre plaquard on the side of your door trim. I am guessing anything between 30+ Psi or just under 40 Psi. I pump up 34Psi all round some times the front to 36 Psi.
