I have similar tyre sizes and i run 32psi....

I do have massive camber on the rear wheels so i do tend to let them down a bit 30-29 area to get a little more grip on the road....

Anything more than 32psi and i get wheel spin due to lack of contact...

Hi guys...how many PSI would u pump into yer tyres on a ECR33 fer sizes from 225-255/40-45/17?

What does the tyre manufcturer recommend?

I'm running 235/45x17 Bridgestone GIIIs at 36psi - because that's what B/S recommends.

43 psi 225/50/r16 - but check the max pressure rating of the tyres you have - and actually this depends on the tyre. For example the Pirelli PZero Nero optimum recommended pressure by Pirelli upon phoning them is 39 psi for the 225/50/r16. I prefer 43 psi though.

damm wtf.. 43PSI?

thats high man... hardly any grip. Drop them down to 34PSI or best would probably be 32PSI in dry and like 29-30PSI for rears in the wet.

For most tyres people recommend 32psi.. 43psi is ALOT.. wonder why they recommend it, i'm sure there is a reason..

Yeah.. on average i've heard about 32 - 35 is a good balance on tyre wear + grip.. if you run them to high they don't wear evenly accross the tyre I believe..

You'd need a very good reason to run >40psi. The max psi rating on the sidewall is not an indication of the pressures you should run.

I would try with 34psi all round and tweak it from there based on your personal preference. I run 35 on the front, 36 on the rear (235 F, 255 R)

It was 39psi recommended for those wheels by Pirelli.

And I recall that the reason I put the pressure up was because the outside of the wheels was scrubbing really bad at high speed cornering with 34 psi. 39psi is ideal for normal driving. The reason I used 43psi was that during high speed cornering it stopped my tyres outside edge wearing out too much. The inside wore due to the negative camber. At the end of the day the 43psi puts a bit of extra pressure on the middle, so it wears a touch faster in the middle, and causes it to be 2mm further worn by the time it reaches the wires at the bottom of the tread.

That pressure was ideal to me. -1.2 camber was my setting for the above.

Just bought new 18"/9.5" and 18"/8.5" wheels and was recommended 40psi. Havn't confirmed recommended pressure with anyone yet though.

Front rims 18"/8.5" with Bridgestone Potenza RE-01 235/40/ZR18

Rear rims 18"/9.5" Yokahama ASpec dB 265/35/ZR18

lowered now and have -2.84 camber on the rear and have not rolled the guards.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
