What do you guys have your psi set at? Ive been between 30-40 psi, and if found about 38 psi to be the best. Am i running them too high?

The sidewall is not an accurate indicator of what the tire is doing because every different type of tire has a different carcas constuction and therefore a different lateral and vertical stiffness. Different tires will all work differently in that regard. 38 is not too high. 28 is too low. I wouldn't run less than 32psi cold or more than 40 cold. For performance the optimum pressure varies a lot from tire to tire and can only be found with testing and a stopwatch. For the street, go with what feels right, within the 'nominal' range. |
