Im looking for any info someone might have on what tire pressure is ideal for a stanced car.

For exmaple; when running -2 camber, any recommended tire pressure for max performance while not raping the tire?

Im sure there has to be a recommended amount of psi in the tires. If the tire has to much air, it'll be more of a bubble and probably ride a lot more on the side, causing lots of wear with -2 camber, versus a tire that could be for example running 25psi(50max) to create more contact with the road reducing uneven wear. Obviously if the tire doesn't have enough air in it, it will be sloppy on turns.

Anyone care to chime in?
Or does everyone just run the norm of about 32 psi front, and 29psi rear (or so), even while under camber and just replace tires as needed?

i ran 40psi on my last tires, with -4 camber. lasted about a year. if you are running aggressive camber(-2 is not aggressive) then as long as you are not superstretch(225/40 on 10 or 10.5 inch rim) then just run toward the upper band of the recomended tire pressure. and run the same pressure front and rear this might not help you with my set up though. i have 225/40 on a 9.5 width rim

Thanks for the post.
Wouldn't your tires last a little more with less psi?
And you're right, -2 isn't that aggressive. Im gonna be running 255/40 on 17x9's.

I'll just stick around the 30's and see how it goes (psi)

What is 'stanced'? Is this the new hellaflush trend?

unfortunately...

to the OP i have a feeling ur just going to be DD'ing the car, so you should be fine running 35psi

+1 and yes i would have benefited from using less pressure. i found out the hard way

i dd my evo, with maybe 1-2 track sessions during the season. -2front -1.5 rear, and gonna sit around 30psi in the tires, maybe make slight adjustment depending how it sits and handles in corners.

ill post some pics when i get the tires on next week

-2/-1.5 is hardly over the top for the street.

Run 34-36 psi.

And if your tires are stretched...well all I'll say is....good luck.

Your car looks sick but is going to handle like garbage. You should sign up for Smikes Handling 101 aka email him a million times until your car handles amazing.

It's toe that eats tires, not camber, and toe-out is more damaging than toe-in. Camber just focuses the wear on only part of the tread. Lowering the pressures allows the sidewall to flex more, reducing the damage done by toe. But eliminating any toe-out is the best way to prolong the life of a tire.

systematic testing with a temperature sensor is the only way, i believe. Everything else is simply hearsay.

This is a good range for a 255/40. I run 38-39 psi on my 265/35R18s. A lot depends on the tire as well (ie. not just tire size).

My last set of tires prematurely wore out due to camber with zero toe all around so I wouldn't say that is entirely true.
