Default new rims...what pressures should I be running.

I just moved from 17 235/255 to 18's 265/295.
How should I be adjusting my tire pressure?


This is on a supra.

On a Supra I would not run 40 psi, kind of high and if you drive a bit aggresive it might feel greasy. I would run between 34 and 36 psi. Just an opinion. Good luck.

yup... mid 30's... get out there and drive... you can tune the cars handling characteristics by changing pressures.... typically a little less pressure on that big wide tire in the rear...
