Pressure of stock tyres?

Post by -Nighthawk- »

Hey, my tires are starting to get flat but I'm unsure on what pressure to put them at. Since most of the car is in Japanese I have no where to look for an indication.

They are just the stock 1995 GR (15" I think?) any ideas?
cheers

I had my tyres on 32 front, 36 rear when i did some motorkhan'ering a little while ago and they squealed quite a bit so a guy came up to me and pointed out for street tyres you should run em a bit lower, so i set em to 30 fr, 34 rear and the squealing stopped...

The slightly higher pressure at the back reduces a bit of squat down when you accel and aids a bit of lift off oversteer, but around 30-32/4 you can run on any car.

Ironically my front left tire had burst today, I changed it to the spare and I didn't have the issue where my car slightly steers to the left anymore, weird as.

I'll be getting a replacement / fixed tomorrow so I'll see what the guy recommends if it's good for me to have it at that :)

I highly suggest you get them all checked and prbably a wheel alignment
