Recommended Tire Pressure for Stanced Cars [chime in]
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?

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)

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

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.
