How much Pressure in your 18" Tires?
So what tire pressure are you guys using on your aftermarket wheels?
I’m running 235/40/18 Kumho Supra 712’s on 18”x8”
The tires listed maximum psi is 44 psi.
I’m running 42 psi up front and 40 psi in the rears?
Is that dangerous or bad?
I just don’t want to bend a wheel.

When I had 18s and Kumho 712, I was up there too. I did that to maximize the edge treadblocks when cornering
right now, on my 17s and Nankang NS-2, I have them 44psi all around. Again, it's to make use of the tread blocks.

Dasyce raises a good question (in my book)
is it better to go with the PSI guildlines on the tires? or is there a better Psi rating for a specific size tire?
Cause on my stock 96 sawblades under the arm rest it says 33 psi up front and 32 in the rear, but the tires says it can hold strong up to 44psi.

i don't know, i'm kinda dissapointed that my tires max PSI is 44,
I lowered the cold PSI to 39, i can't imagine going any lower
the ride was always smooth with H&R's and Illumina's
Next time i buy tires my Max Psi will be over 50 PSI so i can comfortable ride at 45PSI
