When I had mine at 33 psi cold, the shoulders wore out within 2 sessions. The next time I went with fresh tyres, I used 40 psi and the tyres wore evenly. I'm still using that same set of tyres today. The weight of the car also affects tyre wear. At 33 psi cold, the tyres were rolling onto the shoulder tread and wearing it out every time I took a corner because my car was fat and heavy.

I aim for 40psi hot for street tyres. You would rather go out at a higher psi as oppose to low psi which can damage the tyres.

hey guys, thanks for all the feedback.

really appreciated, my tire pressure were 40psi cold and as for the car being too low its 35mm lower which is the legal limit i believe.

ill be going back soon and then ill invest in a set of semis in 205/50/50 size on the standard fat fives which are 6 inch wide
