How much pressure should we put on our tires??

[MSP_HK]

I was just woundering how many lbs of air should we keep in our tires?? and is it good to put any engine treatment in our engine, like Slick 50?? My car has 6K miles on it now. Thanks

32 and don't put that snake oil in your engine...... if you wanna do it, do it right w/ synthetics only. Snake oils will do nothing but gunk it up

32lbs. is good enough. And by all means....don't put that crap in your block!! All it'll do is just cause sludge build-up, and eventually damage your internals. Just stick to synthetic oils like Redline, Royal Purple, Mobil 1, ect....they're all good. (thumb)

Yeah I agree royal purple, mobil 1, and redline are very good synthetic oils. Your dealer supplies mobil 1 synthetic which gets the job done but if you want the best out there go with the royal purple or redline.

If you go with the Royal Purple, get the "Racing 21" stuff. There's a noticable different between their full synthetic (Racing 21) and "hybrid" synthetic (their regular "synthetic" line)

45, and ive had it around 50...i get some decent wheel spin...all the time...but 32 felt 2 "easy" ridding for me...just feel it out for yourself.

I have 40 in my tire is that good?? which is better to have 32 or should I stick with 40 what is the difference. I'm a noob ^^

lower the pressure the more traction you will get, but it does make it feel a bit more slugish...try it, fill em to 50, drive around, then lower to 32.....

the max with our tires is 51, read it, i dont understand why people run so low....

 

[jaymode]

that is the max the tire will handle, but that does not men that it is the best. Tires that are not properly inflated cause worse gas mileage and excess wear on a certain part of the tire.

i put 40 all around...helps in gas mileage and in wear

If you are not doing anything exotic with the car, drags, autocrossing etc, then stay with what Mazda recommends. Here are several threads where we haave talked about tire pressures for different things.
