Default What PSI are you Running ?

When i picked up the vehicle from the dealer it had about 30-31 psi in all tires, then i saw on the joor dam that the cold air psi is rated at 35 in the front and 36 in the rear. Just curious how much psi are you guys running on the 19" F Sport ?

The fronts are supposed to be 35 psi, and I'm at 36 psi. 1 PSI at that range is not gong to make a difference.

Cool, at least you now know what they are supposed to be. You'll get better gas mileage now also.

I think 33 in the front and 34 in the rear is the way to go living in hot climates such as Los Angeles. It rises to about 36 and 37 respectively.

When i had it on 35 and 36 the rear tires got up to 39 - 40 psi after an hour of driving in the hot day. I think 40 is a bit much.
