Tire Inflation

stevewilm · 12-28-2014, 02:16 PM

What do you run your tire inflation at for normal use? The manual says 36 cold, but it isn't great on rough highways.

JOHNBMWM5 · 12-28-2014, 02:41 PM

38 PSI all round, winter tyres or summer, never had a problem.

HoustonRider · 12-28-2014, 04:53 PM

I haven't had any issues at 33 all around. I run less than that in my trucks, and I know these are low profile, but a few psi won't hurt. My wife's 4 says 33/38 but I don't run em that high in the rear either

mrainv23 · 12-29-2014, 12:55 PM

38 works great for me

bigbrian · 12-29-2014, 04:01 PM

35 for me.

Schnell_1 · 12-29-2014, 06:57 PM

33's all around.

Running 35 all around here (as per the door label). Folks running 38 - noticeable improvement with handling and easier turn-in? or just trying to protect your rims?

my door label say 33/33 on my GC, guess the 2 doors are different

m6gcjekyl · 12-30-2014, 03:24 PM

Ur label says 40?

Per door tag 35 all around. Used to run higher on previous cars but this seems perfect for this one. Lots of potholes here and rough roads in general. Higher pressures make for kidney and spleen bruising.
