[QLD] Psi

Does anyone know the recommended psi for 225/50 r17 ?

Well on my 235/45R17s I used to run at 40 usually, mainly h'way driving. Or 38 for twisty stuff. Started off at 36, but my tyre bloke suggested 40 as I did mostly h'way and 36 was too low. Now run 38 on the 245/45R18 (or are VEs 245/40R18???) as a mixed driver. I think that's what the placard says as well. That's my 2c.

Most tyres have the recommended maximum and minimum pressures shown on the tyre sidewall. I always run my tyres up near the recommended maximum pressure for the best fuel economy and long tyre life.

Its got nothing about psi, which is odd for Bridgestone

manufacturer ratings =/= what you said.

I usually run a few pound over.

It will. Look a bit more closely.
It's probably rated in kpa (Kilo pascal).

I run 41 PSI on 235 35 19

But for the OP, 37-39 should suffice

Alright thanks mate

Base it on tyre wear as well. If the edges are wearing, it's too low, if the center is wearing it's too high. I used to run at 38 on my 205/65/R15, but now with my 235/40/R18 I run 36 and they are wearing perfectly.
