It's on the placard on the door sill. Just use the recommended tire pressure. Same for front and rears.

if their potenza arnt they 32-33 at max they should be 35 but good chance of blowing your tyres. but if their not potenza check your tyres.. it will say it on the rubber around the rim.

You won't blow your tyres on 35, where do you pull this bs from?. :zip:

Edit - OP, if you are running stock S02's/03's and driving on the street 32 psi is fine.

lol check your stock rims if they have potenza on them and tell me what the tyre pressure in psi is. It will say 35 i think from memory havent had potenzas on for awhile now. I've seen first hand tyres blowing on rec. tyre pressure. could of been a faulty tyre dont know but i dont take the risk. always 2-3 psi below.

35 hot ..cold pressure depends if you are going into the hills for some fun your pressure will increase more than if you are just driving around town

eg 30 psi for high speed hill driving and 32 psi for city driving

your wheel alignment will also affect your pressures summer or winter also

find out what works for you keep a presure guage handy and check the pressure when you get to the top of your favourite hill climb

for stock 16", 32-35 would be enough.

32psi softer and rides better.
35psi harder and corners better.

Alot of factors come into play how much tyre pressure you run, what type of driving, type of tyre, size, weather everything. But on the street dosent really matter :)

Optimum tyre pressure is different with every Brand/model of tyre.

Although your tyre wont burst if you run more then 35 psi in it. LOL.

On my Drift car with 16's i run 60psi+ cold. on 17s+ depending on ammount of tread etc run sometimes upto 100psi.
Also most the D1GP guys in japan run 8kg+ in there s15's etc.

i didnt say every tyres the same i said the stock tyres (potenza whatever model number they are) pop at 40. My old tyres went to max 60 psi. But i can give you one of my old stockies and go put 60 psi in it and see what happens lol.

Tyres will take alot more than you may think before they pop.

i wouldnt think tubed tyres could take anything massive. and i just re read that post. Dude we're talking about road tyres not D1 Drift machines and their tyres with 100 psi. Goodluck finding a servo that has an air pump that can reach 100psi.

LOL, any servo that has a truck stop or what ever can go upto 150 psi+. Most servos that have a mechanical pressure gauge will go upto 100psi.

I use street tyres, and there not even brand new. On 17s using any tyre brand new or second hand i would use high tyre pressure as in, Dunlop Sp Sport Maxx, Regal Racers, Circlings, Potenza's on 100psi.

What you think they use in D1, they use neova ad08's, potenza re-11. and so on, they dont use a 'special' drift tyre.

I've only ever been to one servo that has a mechanical tyre pressure gauge. And i live in Cragieburn, Im on the way to sydney or whever else if none of you know where that is. Which means lots of trucks. Which comes back to my point of goodluck finding a pressure gauge that will go to 100psi. or 150 whatever.
