Tire pressure

[Fede_italiano]

Do you guys know what is the exact tire pressure for an MSP with proxes4 tires?

Is it 40 psi?
Does it chance with really cold weather?

it depends on your driving style, what you have in your trunk - huge stereo, no stereo.... start with the stock pressures (32/32) and if you want less understeer, increase the fronts by 2psi at a time (until 40-ish).

On both sets of tires I've run, I've found a 4psi difference (front higher) was the most neutral handling for me and the way I drive. But on the Potenzas it was 38/34, and on the Falkens I have now, it's 36/32. you just gotta play with it and see what works for you.

So mazda says 32/32 is what is supposed to be.
I am asking because my front tire was considerably slow and I enflated it but I do not know what is the right pressure.
The tire shop told me 40 and i ws curious.
I am stock by the way

I believe there's a sticker on the driver's door opening that says what the recommended pressure is. It's in the owner's manual, and there should be a min and max pressure rating on your tires.

Proxes max pressure is 50.

I will buy a tire gauge and check.

I did not see on the door but it should be in manual.
Thanks for the help.

i run 40 alla round on my tires, then again, i have 215-35-18 so i need as much pressure in there as possible so i don't bend them rims

The sidewall of the Proxes4 is a little soft.

I'd bump the pressure up a little from the numbers on the door. Say in the 34-36 range.

Is this good to measure pressure?

if I buy one it might as well be reliable

A nice digital gauge from NAPA or Advance auto will work. I run 34 psi with my hankook re106 tires.

Personally, I think 40 is a little high. I would say 30 - 35.

Anything over 38ish seems high for daily driving. For auto-x we usually bump ours up to around 38-42psi depending on conditions.
