Tire Pressures
Wonderful PDI the dealer did on my car... Tire pressures are all over the place.
Anybody got any recommendations outside of using the factory recommended number? 99% street driven. Non 1LE car. |

Not sure I follow. Why wouldn't you want to go with the factory recommended number for daily driver (on the driver door panel)?

I like 30 cold all around, unless I'm going for extended duration of time at higher speeds I go with factory recommended 32psi cold. I'm far from an expert, but I can't imagine 2-4psi higher or lower than factory recommendation would have any real impact in normal driving conditions from the standpoint of safety or wear. I do feel like slightly lower pressure may allow me to hook up a little better, but the couple pounds of pressure probably doesn't make a measurable difference.

When I picked mine up it rode like a lumber truck, got to a gas station and checked them, they had them filled up to the max inflation pressure listed on the tire, not the recommended pressure on the sticker in the door jamb

I have posted this before, but about 9 years ago I was working for BMW as a regional rep and I had a Continental tire engineer come travel with me to give mini seminars in the dealerships as we went around, his comment was that the best tire pressure was 1 to 2 pounds above what it said on the door sill for best life. Approximately 15% better life than the Sill pressure, no perceptible ride diff. That goes for not just his tires, but all tires. So I do that to this day.
