Question about tires pressures???

my98stanggt · September 27th, 2007, 10:46 PM

Before I filled up my tires on my 98 GT Auto to 45psi I was able to squawk the tires in second gear. No I noticed that since I have filled them up to 45psi from 29psi I am not able to squawk in second gear anymore. Does the tire pressure have anything to do with this? I have also noticed that before when I was able to squawk them the weather was warmer out, now that it is a little cooler it isnt doing this.

45 PSI? Are u trying to have a blow out?

my98stanggt · September 27th, 2007, 10:56 PM

The tires Max PSI is 51. So i set them at 45psi warm

GTsetGO · September 27th, 2007, 10:59 PM

hell dude, they are supposed to be around 30-32. hello uneven wear

Think about it man. If you put 45 psi in the tires, the tires get hot and expand when your driving and "squawking". Not good. You have to allow room for that expansion ,especially when your "squawkin".

Like GTset said ,30-32.

Im assuming their Z-rated right ?

35lb is a good pressure and what i use in mine

Fryrice · September 28th, 2007, 03:00 AM

35 tops. Thats not to bad if you do a lot of highway driving. Around town its kinds rough. Depends on the tires though.

WAVEBYE · September 28th, 2007, 03:25 AM

a good standard tire pressure is 32 for pass. cars and 35-40 for trucks

Fryrice · September 28th, 2007, 03:26 AM

AnglicoGT98 · September 28th, 2007, 06:59 PM

Yeah bro, Force and Bernstein got jacked up I heard. Sucks...

Anyways, 31-35 should be fine in the rear.

Your vin tag on your door jam tells you what pressures to set your tires to for your particular vehicle. Dont go by the max pressure on the tire. Tire manufaturers dont know what kind of vehicle that tire is going to be on. They list max pressure for that reason, not recommeded pressure. Always go by the vin sticker on the door jam, thats what its there for. Engineers have put it there with the load ratings because they have tested what best pressures perform on that vehicle the best and safest.
