Hello again My Favorite Ladies and Gentlemen,
As some of you know I just mounted my new rims and tires last weekend (in the photo section), but I had some questions on tire pressure. I'm open to all opinions and facts. I'm not an idiot I just need some insight...
Tire and other random info:
205/40/17 Size tires, Directional, Max rated at 44PSI
- First gen 5-speed
- Normally not going to have car loaded
- I have a first gen, SOHC... Not going anywhere fast
- regular driving conditions
The reasons I'm interested:
1). I'm afraid of random potholes, afraid that 40 psi is not enough for ****ty Cincy Roads
2). Heard that having pressure too high leads to uneven tire wear.
3). 40 psi seems too low for the front, because of engine weight, sidewall is compressed a little too much for my liking
4). When I tire discounters balanced and mounted my **** they had the front wheels at 50+psi, and i didnt realize til i got home... I wasnt sure if they did that on purpose or not.
5). Heard pumping up higher than max PSI was only for transporting heavy load.
6). Interested if higher pressure will dick me worse in the rain...
Anything would help my people... Keep hope alive.
