Tire pressure need help!:)

Postby MarkBello » Mon Mar 19, 2012 10:38 pm

Just wondering what is the correct tyre pressure. I got 18x7.5 rims with kumho KU31 tyres. I put 36psi on front abd 37 on back. Is this ok!? Cheers!

I run mine @ 38psi. Same tyres as you on VRX rims. @ 38psi its notably harder than 32psi but if you take corners slightly harder 36psi is the recommended. I do mostly country highway hence my higher pressures.

Had 32 on my stock 16's. Now running 37 on my 18x8.5. Was at that pressure already when I got them so I just left them as is.

I put in 36 or 37psi....

While we are talking about tyre pressures... for those with older lancers.. when was the last time to pumped your emergency tire? Do it as you dont want to be caught short with a limp emergency tyre. :)

I've got Kumho tyres and had them rotated today, they said you should run 40psi with a maximum of 51 which is written on the tyre.
If you drive with anything under 34 psi you will find the tyres will feather on the edges which is what happened to mine. The guy at the tyre shop said that at 40psi, tyre should wear evenly.
