Well, it's pretty high already compare to my track tire pressure. You'd be surprised how many ppl try to race me here in Taiwan, gotta be prepared you know, lol

I am not sure to be honest. My mindset from back in my performance rear wheel days was educated to increase the running axle tires a little more than the the other. Had similar pressures in my old M3.

38 all 4

madmike23 · 08-27-2014, 02:08 PM

Since it's a poll, would these numbers be the same for all: Base, Sport and Nismo tires?

Not being a smart ***, I dont know.

madmike23 · 08-27-2014, 02:13 PM

My tire gauge is crappy, think it's 36-ish warm. On 18's, daily driver.

it does to a certain degree, thus i posted the psi and tires. mine are 19's btw.
the generic recommended psi is 35 though by nissan.

For daily driving I run 38-40. Better fuel economy and I guess it would help some in the rain.

Zbrah · 08-27-2014, 03:11 PM

Before: 34,33 (F); 35, 34

After new rear tires installed: 35 all fours

kenchan · 08-27-2014, 03:19 PM

why are you running lower psi in the front?

Zbrah · 08-27-2014, 03:26 PM

This sounds bad, and it is, but I was relying on the gauges that they provides at the gas stations, obviously they are not accurate

hahaha. yah, just buy a 120v air pump for your garage..

hell, worst case just buy a 12v cigarette lighter air pump and a nice digital gauge and do it
at home or watever. just keep the car running while you're pumping air not to drain the battery

ive never tried this, but do bicycle tire air pump work on our cars? you know, the ones you do manually. LOL
