tyre pressure

Hey all,

Sorry if this has been done to death and not searching but getting distracted from studyin for exams anywho.

What PSI do you have your tyres on ? I've had my MY09 for almost 2 weeks and just curious what everyone runs theirs at, i'm prob going to run mine at 38ish

Tyre placard says 36-39 depending on load but 38 should be fine especially if you drive it with spirit! I have found it hard to drive mine nicely! The 6 spd manual just makes it want to GO!

I run my tyres at 40psi. It is a harsh ride, but the trade off is longer tyre wear. The edges dont seem to wear as quick. Mine has done 43K on the original Potenza and plenty of tread remaining.

I'm running 245/35/R20 Potneza's and of late have been running 40-42 psi depending on if I'm hitting the highway or running around town. If hitting the highway, 42 psi gives a great ride. Otherwise 40 is great around town, but in the end its all presonal preference re overal ride.

i run my around the 40-42 mark to 38 is a bit soft for mine try a couple of pressures and see what suits your desired feel

i just bought a MY10 sv6 ute and just checked and adjusted tyre pressures..... my front left was on 47psi!!! stupid holden dealers... other tyres had 40-43.
ive now put 38 psi at all 4 wheels.
might put 40psi see how i go
