    for me I have 40 psi in the front and 42 in the rear

    I know it sounds high but it saves me from my tyres scrubbing out

    You Don't Need To Have A Capital Letter On Every Word In The Sentence.

    Start at 40f/42r and drop it down 1psi at a time until it feels good to drive. If your car is lowered, it can tramline a bit if the pressures are too high. I run 40psi all round and I only have 15's. So far they have done about 80 000kms. Borderline legal now though.

    Why did you ask the question only to answer it yourself anyway?

    In maxxis tyres you can run the pressures at whatever you want, they are **** tyres so the quicker you wear them out the quicker you can buy something decent. If for some reason you think these tyres are good, do not run them below 40psi all around.

    Gives me something to read, also gives reference to other people on the forum looking for this info

    On the maxis front, yes I too agree they are ****, I highly regret getting maxis rubber.

    I thought Maxxis are meant to be good...MAZ1 got good reports......

    Too hard and easier for tire to tear and puncture. 34-38 is good range.

    Bob Jane gives Maxxis the biggest wrap on the plant because they get extra incentives when they sell a set.

    They are peices of crap.

    I have 18's on my car which is lowered and was told to run 42psi all round. for me the ride was to jumpy, 39 has proved to be the best ride for my car.

    yer maxxis r par even with nangkangs utter **** where u can get a much better tyres 4 the same price if thats ur budget? 38 is ideal 40-42 under load ne more and im affraid but bob got it right this time u will start scrubbing out the tyre on the outer edges u'll notice this more on the rears as they r only driven in 1 motion.
