Tyre Pressue

[Guilty]

Hi guys,

I just need some help with the amount of psi i should put in my R33 Gts-t....Its basically stock apart from exhaust and pod and running at normal boost.

I was just wondering whats an appropiate psi for just normal daily driving with the organisal thrashings?

Would it be different for my front and back tyres?

Thanks in Advance

Cheers

It depends on the size/profile/brand of the tyre.

If it's close to stock, I'd say that you still have the stock rims ??

If you do, I think the stock size is 225/50/16's, or the smaller 205/55/16's.

Sooo, for normal city driving I use (I have 225/50/16's) around 38psi fronts and backs. If you find that the centre of the tyre is wearing a bit quicker than the outsides then drop the psi down to 36ish.

But if you have 18's with 35 profile rubber, then you might want to run around 40psi.

I always ask the tyre place what pressure to run in the tyres as it also depends on the brand etc...

oooh sh*t i have the stock rims and i am only running 30psi.... /cranks it up

[flex]

i use 34psi for my front wheels and 32psi for the back

[blind_elk]

Generally run the front tyres about 2 psi higher than the rears - helps reduce understeer.

I think 38 is going a bit overboard, mayge 36 front, 34 rear. (that's cold pressure)

I've got 225/50/16 yokohama a539 rubber and the techy from Bob Jane T-mart says to pump 32psi on all 4 tyres...i used to do 36 for rear tyres which causes uneven wear...

[Yotis]

Hrmm... 235/40/18(?) front and 265/35/18(?) rear with nitrogen.. Bob Jane pumped it up to 36psi front and rear, which is also what a friend of mine told me.

[Kinks]

36 always caused uneven wear in the pulsar (205/50/15) so i use 32 i think.

thought i'd try 30psi in the skyline and see how the tyre wear went, and then adjust it from there.

[Guilty]

umm im gonna try 34 front and 32 bck then..........

see how that goes

[CerealKiller]

I have Pirelli P7000's (225/50/16) and run 36psi front and 34psi back. (Genesis R32 recommended)

I found it's about right as any less and I start to screech a lot around corners.

Running 255/40/17 Falken Ziex (yes I know theyre shit ) and was told to inflate to 40PSI. Im trying to kill the things so I can justify buying new good tyres, but they just dont seem to wear at all

[EnricoPalazzo]

err thats a good thing amaru

[Amaru]

Not for me theyre not, I seem to suffer from severe traction issues in them :Oops: theyre a massive step down for the Yokohama AVS Sport's and Toyo Trampio's that were on the car, but I needed tyres then and there and thats all I could get in my size

[EnricoPalazzo]

heheh then u could just do the right thing and send them down to me, ill pay the shipping and they u can get new tyres

everyone wins
