Lol @ dude that thinks he should be at 50 psi because it says it on the side of the tire. Wow!
For anyone that doesn’t know…you can find your recommended psi inside your door panel or in your owners manual or you can probably Google it. The max psi on the sidewall of a tire is something totally different. |

I'll add my two cents just because this is such a long thread about something (relatively) simple - just to complicate things further lol.
If you contact your tire manufacturer and provide them with details about your car and how you use it, they may provide you with a very specific recommendation that is different from the door jam recommendation. Personal example: I run Nitto 555G2 up front and 555RII in the rear on my ZL1. I contacted Nitto and informed them of my vehicle, mods, and how I use it - a nice weather DD that I can afford to "splurge" on, so performance trumps longevity for my tires. Their recommendation was to inflate the fronts (G2s) so that when warm PSI would read about 35-36 (meaning cold fill is about 32, give or take depending on ambient temps, road temps, etc.) and inflate the rears (RIIs) so that when warm PSI would read about 30 (meaning cold fill is about 27-28, give or take depending on ambient temps, road temps, etc.). Now Nitto is a more "specialized" brand than most, and my use more closely reflects "performance" even though I do nice-weather DD the car. So what works for me may not work for others.... with that said I have to also point out that the "max" on the side of any tire absolutely is not what ya'll should be inflating to...for so many reasons lol. |
