what would you say is a good amount of tire pressure for an eg?

around 28psi? or higher?

better yeT, here is pic of my rubber, sitting on a scratched hammerhead

u go wat is said on the door of ur car for civics its 25-28 no matter wat the sidewall says u go based on wat the manufactor says.

imported_alwaysoverkill

25-28 is alittle low, 32 PSI is average. I run 35PSI on my toyo proxes. 30-40 is perfectly acceptable.

TranceaddicT

ok well i just looked on my tire and it said 51psi... lol

wow.. thats why i asked, cuz they looked and felt underinflated.

imported_alwaysoverkill

hmm, 51 is a tad high, lol

imported_SaYjAiBaO

i drove home once when my tires were pumped to 50PSI. damn was the steering light for a car with no ps. haha this was the first day i was brining the car home. after i let the air out it was a bitch around the parking lots.

I keep my tires at around 32 PSI. I think 50 PSI is pretty high for daily driving. Your gonna wear out your tires pretty fast.

Nova_Dust

Keep it at 30. It will raise up once the tires are warmed up.

TranceaddicT

why would it say 50psi? rite now im in high 30's.

ironballs

my pirelli p7000's are 50psi. if i have them at 35 they look under inflated

imported_alwaysoverkill

over inflated tires will wear faster in the middle on the tire. under inflated will wear faster on the edges. 30-40 will wear evenly.

If you have stock tires, or equivalent to stock tires, run any where between 28 and 32 is good.

40 is way too much pressure. Always look at the recommend tire pressure on the door, and not the max psi on the sidewall of the tire.

btw, you can't look at the tire and say "my tires look underflated", unless they are actually flat (in my terms, like 10 psi or less). I guarantee you that most people could not tell a tire that had 25 psi from a tire with 35 psi.

Just run you falkens at 30 psi. I would never run a tire on a civic more than 35 psi.

With 30 psi, on warm days psi will go up to around 33 psi maybe a little more, and on colder days it'll go down to like 28psi.

I don't where you noobs get your info from. Running 40 psi on a civic, LMAO.

imported_phuviano

It says 50 psi on the tire, cause that's the max psi. Just remember, a tire can go on many different cars. Different cars have different psi ratings, and load index's.

nashall

i was always told and always find the perfect psi is 32

imported_gatherer

32 all round

spracingsports

mine says max of 45.... so i go 35 all around

Alrite,
this is word for word from a Honda Tuning Magazine (June/July 2002 issue):

The rule is:

(Vehicle Weight in lb/100) + 2 psi at heavier end + 2 psi all around if suspension and alignment are stock.

Example: Stock Honda S2000, 2,800 lb.

(2800/100) = 28 psi
Add 2 psi all around = 30 psi
Add 2 psi to heavy end = 32 psi rear

*With modified suspension, the result is 28 psi front, 30 psi rear.

Hope this helps.

I run mine always from 32-35. 28 PSI is a little low. In the summer u can actually put the tires to 32psi and in the winter u can put it up around 35 because in the summer it is hot and tires expands when it gets hot so it will build PSI. In the winter for every 0 degrees or something it will drop like 4 psi. Somewhat like that and i can't remember. So yeah. If it says like max 51 u can put around 35-38 but usually 38 psi all around is good. If your max tire says 35 then put it on 32. If it says 44 i usually put it on 25. U can follow your spec for the car. It should tell u on the door or open the glove box what psi u should put on your car.

imported_phuviano

Actually, you should put less psi in the winter. You want more traction, and a lower psi will do that for you. More traction = Better control of your car.
