lmao!





see i'd rather have better gas milage, i'm already very happy with the ride, but i'd personally rather have better milage

 

I only run 40PSI because it's good for mileage, and the tires wear more evenly. I don't notice a huge difference in the ride, and the tires say Max of 44 lbs. (I run 38 cold, 40 hot) I've had it as high as 41 and never got a check tire pressure warning.

I'll lower it and see if it effects anything, but I'm pretty sure that when I got it they were all around 36 psi cold.

 

So were mine thats why I was confused... Oh well I will add more when i get her back..

[b]The tire inflation pressure for your vehicle is very important in providing you with safe driving and a fuel efficient vehicle. The key to correct tire pressure is to know the correct pressure for your vehicle. The best pl

 

A quote from the link Space gave:
[ul][*]Over-inflation
Over-inflation can be a problem too. An over-inflated tire rides on just the centre portion of the tread. The smaller contact area means reduced grip on the road, leading to a harsh ride, handling issues (such as steering and stopping problems) and increased wear on tires and suspension components. Seventeen per cent (17%) of vehicles in Canada have at least one tire that is over-inflated by 20%. [/ul] I thought that was funny... Is it cause of the Temp or just the Canadians?... lol jk Wizz and Fox

 

I have my serious doubts about others running 40-44 lbs.

Seriously prematurely wears out the center threads causing handling problem as postedabove from Space's link.

 

I keep my tires at 32 psi (cold)
after driving they get up to 34 psi
So far no sign of tire wear at all
She just turned 10,000 mile today

 

I do exactly the same and after 31k miles, all my Eagle LS tires have IDENTICAL wear all across the treads.

 

it may be 30 for the ls's and lt's with the smaller wheels/tires.. but I know on the SS, the door sticker says to run 32psi... I usually keep mine at 33 to 34....

 

My door sticker says 30 all the way around. They know more about tire wear then I do so I run the tires at 30 (cold).

You run too much or not enough pressure in the tires you risk wearing them out either in the center or the side walls. TOO much pressure will cause traction issues especially in wet conditions. Not enough can get you similar results.

You wanteven tread contact at all times.
