Tires PSI?

What for tire PSI do you go with on the stock wheels and tires? The manual states 32 psi front / 29 psi rear. Seems like the sides wear down fairly quick, sure this will happen anyway more than likely. I would think going with a little more air that what the manual says would help. Any feedback would be great. - Thanks

I noticed the same side wear, so I stepped up to 35 front and 32 year for street driving (lower at the track), and they are wearing much more evenly now.

Good Luck!

I run 35 Front, 32 Rear as well. It seems to give me pretty even wear.

Yup, use the OEM pressures as a starting point, not dropping below that. From there you can tune the pressures till you get the desired feel. Don't exceed the MAX psi of your tire.

yes - if you corner hard (like me) you'll wear the sides quicker - that's cause I autocross - but still run high street pressures like F 38 R 34.

On track it's F 49-50 - R 36-37
