Dealer Over Inflated Tires

/Angelo350Z/ · 01-05-2014, 10:15 PM

^^ The point is, you're paying for full service and shouldn't have to redo their work. Will you drain the oil if you realized it was over-filled? I'm not saying have the dealer drain the air out of the tires, but something that simple should've been caught by the dealership.

I would bypass going to Nissan for work due to their incompetence for easy things, but I too have the gold plus maint plan. I didn't pay for it however.

I thought stock 19" on the 370z r 65psi ?? Doesn't it say that on your door?? 20" should have 32-35 psi. I would double check your door for proper specs on 19"

Uh.... no. I don't know any tires that request 65 psi. .. I assume the max tire pressure on the advans on my nismo is like 50 psi max and the bridge stones are probably 50 to 55 psi max

The 0.07% difference in your gas mileage for pumping the tires up +13psi is not a valid reason to over inflate your tires. A real reason to not do it is that the ride goes to **** and your handling is impaired.

A general, good rule of thumb, for almost any car is to fill the tires up to 32-35psi.

Better than having them under-inflated.

no doubt i fully understand you still get better mpg with higher inflated tires. Never advised to pump up 13 psi to improve mpg.

The pressure really depends when you check it and the temperature, if I fill my tires on the honda crv at 32 psi in cold weather or sitting vehicle , they will read about 44 psi when the tires are hot or air temp is around 60 - 70 + degrees

Here is some good advice for you. Get an alignment A.S.A.P. My tires were feathered to hell after 20k. Really watch your tire pressures and you can get good mileage out of your tires. I normally run 30r and 31f.

Isn't 35 psi all around the recommended tire pressure?

Even at that psi I was getting center line wear. This is one of those situations tjat depends on each drivers driving characteristics. Like what the temp is when they go to work, temp when they go home, is it a straight line or is it curvy, etc. Im dialed in and have over 40k on my fronts with 4mm of tread left. The rears are the second set and are at 25k ish?
