Hey guys just wondering from anyone who may have these tires in 235/45/17 what tire pressure are you running?

 

32 front and 29 rear. If you look in your door jam, it shows you right there.

 

Depends on what you want. OE work for just DD. I would add more psi for better mpg if on a trip. And my AX on street tires was 34f/36r. Everyone has a different setting.

 

your funny but thanks anyway

i know what the door says but take into consideration that the stock yoko's had a brickwall for sidewalls those settings were what mitsu intended for that tire. the S.Drives have a softer wall so that pressure is to low and will make it feel like a slush.

i think the installer put about 36psi in them and i guess i'll have to get used to the extremely soft sidewall compared to the stockers. it's mostly a DD so i'll play with them and see where they feel good at.

 

No problem! I like 32 F and 35 R the best. +1 for a road trip, I ran 44 F and R to get better mileage.

 

since the tire is new it feels like **** right now. i added more air to them today and it stiffed it up a little. they now have around 43f and 42r. cant wait for them to break in because they feel really crappy right now lol

 

that's odd, i did mitsu specs for air pressures pretty much -- 32 fr/ 30 rr and since mile one my car has driven and performed excellently with the yoko s. drives.

 

when they first were installed they had about 36psi in them and they felt to soft. going around the corner at an aggressive speed made the car feel like it was floating once i had starighted her up. now at about 43psi they are a little stiffer but not by much. i think i should have tried them in a 245/40/17 or maybe a 235/40/17. i'll give them a chance until i have saved up enough to upgrade to RPF1's with some star spec Z1's. dont know if i'll go with 18 or stay wih the 17's

 

i got the 40 for the sidewall, that definitely makes a big difference.
to the OP i'm sorry i didn't realize until just now that you had a larger side wall.. definitely add more psi..

all i can say is go out one night and have fun trying different air pressures.
when i had my cobra i had to fiddle with slight increments getting used to my rear mickey slicks..

good luck!

 

i wish i would have went with the 40 sidewall. it would have been better i'm sure. all well i'll probably look into selling the rims and tires real soon and i'm considering some rpf1's in 18"s. then i'll see what tire i can go with then lol

 

Door jam/owners manual to start. From there I'd drive and tune up in 3-5 lb increases till you get the feel you want. Don't exceed the max psi on the tire's sidewall and set them cold. Everyone's prefrence is different when it comes to feel and pressure.

 

i think the 32f/29r would probably be to soft for these tires in the stock OEM size. the sidewalls on these are extremely soft. when they were at 36 psi it felt like a boat whenever i would steer the car quickly from left to right once the car was straight i could still feel the car sway left and right. the tires grip pretty well so far but the sidewall leaves much to be desired. now they are about 43psi and are alittle stiffer but overall i should have gone with the 235/40

 

^ What suspension and settings are you running?

 

stock except for the GTWorx springs
