Just wondering what tyre pressure's you guys run with your different tyre sizes...

I'm currently running 38psi on 215/35/19's...

Also do you measure when the tyre is cold or warm?

Would it be better to run mine at 32psi to get a little more comfort and handling or would that just lower my economy and nothing else :unsure:

On Live For Speed I went from a 13.62 to a 13.53 QM just by dropping the tyre pressure 6psi from 38

215/45 R17 @ 34psi (coldish, short drive from my house to the gas station)



*EDIT*
Just found out WIM recommend running 35psi in OE 17" so that's what I'm running now

225/35 19" @40psi for street.

If you run in the 32-34 region and run a stretched setup, you can risk the tyre popping off the rim.

On a 19" tyre I wouldn't run any lower than 34psi

I've got 215's slightly stretched onto a 8" rim, you reckon 34 would be ok?

I would be running 38psi min.

An extra few psi comes in handy as by the time you get around to filling them back up again most tyres drop 2-4psi per month or so, so if you were to run 34, and in a month's time you could potentially be running 30 psi..

Yep. The factory Altezza spec for OE 17" is 2.3kg/cm2 or 32.713 PSI all round.
(personally I find this too soft, 35 is much better)

hmn i think I'll switch to 34 on stock 215x40x17(?) tyres :D

i remember i used to run 40 on 205x40x17 on my ooooooooold 96 civic it helped making the tyre last longer...the reason i had a civic was this was my first ever car so i've had 3 civics this was before honda lost the plot after 2000 model now they look really ugly but i digress :D
