Tire Pressure?


I just installed my 15x4's with 185/65/15s, and the say the max tire pressure i can run is 44psi. I looked at a few more tires online and most say 44psi, but... At that tire perssure they look 1/2 flat. I looked at some pics of a few guys who run skinnies and they all look fully inflated. So i was wanting to know what you guys run in tire pressure. Thank you.
Tim

My 185 radials always look low at 40-44 but my M/T sportman skinnies (bias ply) look fully inflated. Never exceed the manufacturer's max inflation.

never over inflate if u drive the street. hit one good bump and it could blow. then they will really be flat. better safe than sorry

unless at the track, you really shouldn't even run 44. 44 is the max the tire can hold, once the tire warms up the pressure inside increases. so if you put 44 in it, after driving on it your pressure will be over the max.

That's because they aren't designed for that much weight. I believe those are Volkswagan tires or some small vehicle like that. I've seen alot of guys run them on skinny wheels because they want to save a couple bucks. I also see alot of them over inflate them because they squat so much. I wouldn't run them on my car.
