Either in your manual or on a sticker on you car some where there should be a tire pressure recomendation. Can't remember where though )either old age or alcohol poisioning ya know:L) I run 35 psi on all 4 corners on my 93

35

35 and that is not my age.

I've always run 30-32 on my 89 with 275/40x17. Never had uneven wear or short life.

For normal street driving I'd set 'em at 26-28 psi cold. The car will ride nicer and treadlife will be better.

If you load the car up for a long trip, go up to 30 psi cold.

If you're racing run them at the max pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire.

Hib, Have you noticed it has a tendacy to track with the highway grooves at that pressure? If so does that mean worn suspension components? Thanks

Look on the drivers side door by the latch. There is a sticker with different pressure ratings depending on what size and rating of tire you are running.

32...Good Balance

 

[Topless]

Staggering... oh sorry
Depending on the brand and sidewalls... 32 front/30 rear or 30 front/28 rear.

If you have the LTPWS, don't set it low enough to activate the warning light!

I have not with the tires I run which are either Goodyear F1 Supercars or Goodyear F1 GS-D3s.

If you have a problem with "trough wander", it can be caused one or more of several problems..

1) front end alignment
2) worn suspension parts
3) worn tires
4) tire tread design

Cooper tires, alignment and suspension all good. Thinl I'll give 28 PSI a try this season. Thanks for the info.
