I have always run 32 on all 4, never had any issues. I thought we were supposed to run 32.

billy, when you run too low a pressure, the reason the tire heats up is because of tire carcas flex. too much flex will cause the coke riddled feeling you get. it is only a matter of time before you wreck a wheel running the lower pressure. |

i find it amusing that the guy in ny is reporting he cannot get heat in the tires during mid winter freezing temps, and the guy in florida says he has no problems...
Had to laugh . lol |

While my roads are bad, I happen to live and commute through Westchester County NY (the richest county in the state I believe). So while the roads are "bad" right now, they are actually pretty good by NY standards and they might as well be "race surface quality" compared to something like the Bronx. Despite the fact that it was 42 degrees and raining this morning, I took the 1LE again to work today, and I haven't gotten around to pumping my tires up to 36PSI yet. The car is less fun because I was very much fighting it on the highway. At 40 PSI, with my wife in the passenger seat on the morning commute, I could sit comfortably at 75mph on the highway with my left elbow resting on the padded shelf on the door, and two or three fingers on the steering wheel when the situation allowed it. Happily droning along with the rest of the rats. These last few days at 32PSI, as soon as I'm above 40mph I have to hold onto the steering wheel with two hands at all times. When I take my right hand off the wheel to shift gears, I do it quickly and get right back on the wheel lest the car move over half a lane at random. Even on the smooth sections of road, I'm so scared that the car will try to suicide itself into the car in the next lane, I can't relax. I know my roads aren't great - but they aren't THAT bad. I can't believe others drive like this all the time. I've got pump these things up pronto. |

I feel we have uncovered the villain, and its not tire pressure, but road conditions. Thanks for talking this out with me, and I will keep it in my mind if I venture north, but I promise it will not be until things warm up (its in the mid 60's today). Merry Christmas! |

I have absolutely no issues running them at 32psi. I don't drive when it's that cold out though and definitely not in rain or snow.

I have been running 30 - 32 PSI cold so far, just had to put some air in them do to the cold temps I was all the way down to 26-28 PSI cold before I added air. I think I may experiment with higher pressures to see if I notice differences. Mine do trammel on roads that see a lot of heavy truck traffic (one particular road I commute to work on causes any car to trammel and with the 285 tires oh boy its like arm wrestling the steering wheel). With the real low air pressure I do notice the pressure rise on the DIC (heat) quickly (mile or so).
