What's it like to drive? Tends to wallow in corners. Also pulls away from the road's crown. 35F this am and someone hasn't been checking his tire pressure lately. DOH!

My turbo is still @ 16psi cheeky monkeys. (pow)
 
Since the temp changes have been anywhere from 50 to 80 here, I have to check mine daily.... it seems I lose about 5lbs every few days...
 
i am just dreading the switch to winter tires...no more tight and responsive handling soon...:(
 
30 here this morning, for some reason it felt a little weird driving to work this morning... much slower and heavier, sorta like i gained 4 cylinders in my engine and added 2000 pounds







not quite sure why tho

All-seasons FTW! I'm glad it doesn't snow enough here to justify equipping snow tires.

ya, i wanted to go with all seasons, but my stock tires are still going strong and i am likely going to be moving to pittsburgh soon, so i figured that it's better to be safe than sorry...=d
 
THats nothing, with the heat here in Miami, my tpms flashes at me and doesn't beep. Then stays on with no warning beeps. Meaning that the temps are all screwed up. Humidity sucks!!!
 
Yeah I had the same thing. The weather in Chicago got cold and all my tires were 27 F. I got scared at first that again one of my tires had a hole lol
 
I had the TPMS light come on a few weeks ago. It was a cold am morning, I thought I had a flat. All of the tires ended up being below 28lbs. I must soon switch to the winter wheels. I can feel the lack of grip in the cold.
 
Yeah.. Its getting pretty cold here. Gotta throw my steelies on already.


















Oh wait... :p
 
I got mine delivered with 27psi, but still thought it handled great. Then I put the right air pressure in, car felt much more response and connected to the road.

I'm putting my winter tires on in 2 weeks, I don't think it will handle that bad with 215/50/17 on alloys.
