going to autocross this weekend and need psi recommendations.
tires i have are just sum cheap kumo's. max psi is i think @ 44 psi.
have it set at 35psi front and back right now.

was wondering if thats was ok. should i increase pressure more up front than the back? i will also chalk up the sidewalls to know if i need to increase it or not.

 

If inches are english, what do metric people use instead of psi for their tires?

I used 35fr 30re recently, but like u already know, it's trial/error.

Most likely bar. 1 bar == ~14.503 PSIG. That's what they use for rad caps, boost pressures, etc.

EDIT: Not sure if I missed a rhetorical question there, but eh, whatever.

 

I suggest trying 44psi on all corners, and bleeding down depending on the chalk marks and of course heating and pressure increase.

Just experiment with it.

^^^ thank you very much!

thats what i needed. i'm running stock suspension and of course, it understeers a lot and wanted to alleviate that issue.

 

Sorry if I'm off topic a little. I know the recommended pressure for tires by the manufacturer is 29 psi. But I'm running on a set of touring tire (Yoko Avid TRZ) and somehow the front tires look kinda flat a little. Should I pump the pressure up to say 35 psi or no?

And sorry OP for going off topic.

 

it should say on the tires themselves what the max psi is. i usually just go
80-85% of what the max is.

 

Perhaps you might have better luck here. http://forums.maxima.org/forumdisplay.php?f=50

 

i usually run 40psi in the front and 42 in the rear....i will probably run more in the rear next event because i cant get the rear end to give out for anything...i want a rear sway bar so bad.

 

thanks! just found out one of my tires is not kuhmo and it's max psi is only 35!
kinda pissed about that. cheap tire...

guess i'll prob run 40 front, 34 rear, see how that feels




like your sig Xjin, might have to bust out that MAXIPAD on my max too lol
