A quick qestion about tire pressure...

[kingvitamin]

What would be a good tire pressure to use for everyday normal driving with the stock Dunlops? I know it says 50 max PSI on the tire, but I thought maybe around 40-45? Just wanted some opinions. Thanks in advance.

for starters...that is TOO HIGH! take a moment....right now....get up....go out to your car....open the drivers door....look at the end of the door...just below the locking mechanism....there is a little sticker there....it tells you what the proper inflation presure is for the stock size tires....just for your information....auto manufacturors have been putting a name plate of that type on EVERY car on the drivers side, either on the door or in the door jam for about the last 50 years or so.....the information is also in your manual.....its under TIRES.

King just a FYI.. I run 35 front and 32 rear.. I feel like I get a better ride and better cornering out of the car. But when it comes to be 100+ degrees here this summer I will drop the tires 3-4 psi each.

Thanks, I put them up to 32 psi front, and 30 psi rear. Seems to ride fine, and little more bumpy, but not too bad.

You lowered the tire pressure and claim it to be a bumpier ride? You must have done something wrong. When you lower the tire pressure, it make the tires spongier and they give more. This actually smoothes out the ride. If you go higher pressures (stiffer), you get a rougher ride. Not too sure what the bumpier ride you are talking about has to do with..

Actually they were lower than what I currently have them at now. I added about 4 psi.
