I have 195/60/15's on my 99' honda civic si and was wondering what would be the best pressure to run the tires at. The current pressure is at 30#'s front and rear!
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
If that is so, then why are there variations among the same car as to what tires come on the car from the factory? You could buy a civic in Florida that will come with bridgestones, and the civic in Cali will come with Michelin...that would mean different spec'd pressure from the factory?quote:
Tires make the choice in pressures, not the OEM unless you are replacing with exact OEM replacements. Once you deviate from that, go with what is printed on the sidewall. For most all tires, 32 is a 'safety' number and can be used on pretty much anything passengercar-wise. On LT tires, usually the pressures are higher. I personaly have had great luck with 5lbs under the tires Max printed inflation
This just tells me that they're cheap tires (surprise, surprise), not suitable for spirited driving through twisties. Throwing more air in them is not going to fix them.quote:
To emphasize this, go to your local Pep-boys, buy thier 4-for-$100 4-ply tires, fill them to 32 psi, go drive on a nice curvy road, tell me what you think.
