Check your tire pressure.

I was to lazy to check my tire pressure for weeks. I finally did it today and the front was 27 psi(supposed to be 33) and the rear was 27(supposed to be 30).

This is just a reminder to all new car owners. I know some of you check stuff everyday.

 

plus it's getting colder.. so every 10 degree drop results in 1 psi lower

 

What pressure are the members of this forum using?

2 months ago I increased mine to 40psi (which is well under the max of the Bridgestone tires), and the ride does not seem to be too firm at all...

 

33 psi all around.

 

then i REALIZED it was bad to go with the max on the tire. I never have tried the cars listing for the tire pressure. So I did a few days ago. I get better acceleration but my gas mileage is suffering abit . Thats weird. In my manual it said my tires should be at 33 on front and 29 on the rear. But the max for my tires are 44psi. Thats a big diff for the front. In the back the tires look fine but the front tires look like they are gettign flat or something . But since I get better acceleration I guess I ll keep it like that for awhile, but I might have to go up alittle becuase of the gas thing. oh and I have Goodyear Eagle GT II's on my car.

 

do yourself a favor...
don't EVER drive around w/ less than 5psi under Max Pressure...
unless you like bending expensive rims.
