Check that tire pressure!!!!

I was going to go out for a drive this weekend and decided to check the tire pressure. Whipped out my accugauge, and was suprised. I waws down 5 lb's per tire!! I normaly run 38F and 35R. Inflating the tires to my specs REALLY made the difference. I hadn't really had a chance to drive in a while and the Max has been feeling like a pig lately, and cause I hadn't checked the tires in a little while (lazy). The turn in is razor sharp, and corners are like rails. So check those pressures!!

The label under my center console lid says 29 p.s.i. front and rear. I use 29 for around-town driving; 32 for road trips and 40 for autocrossing.

mine were all different, between 28 and 36 from the factory... factory might recommend 32 but that's not what they're delivered with.

I drive all highway so I keep mine a little higher (34) but good advice, everyone should check tire pressure regularly... better handling and saves gas.
