    Please help me with correct tire pressure!!!

    I have a 95 coupe. I have the stock 17" contour rims. All four are the same size. What tire pressure should I be running. I keep hearing different things? Thanks guys.

    The inflation pressures are listed in the driver's side door jamb. I believe they are 32f and 34r, but it has been a while since I have run the stock pressures...

    My avs's with my current suspension like 36lbs at all four corners.

    So you think I should just go by what the door says? I'm looking for the best all around handling.

    Part of "handling" is personal preference, the roads you drive on, your driving style, your experience level, the tires you use, how your suspension is set up, how much weight you have in the car, etc. Don't forget the use - do you want the best handling on the track, on the street, autoxing?

    Your best bet is to start with what the door sticker says, then start tweaking the pressures depending on how the car feels. At some point, you'll find the best compromise for your tastes between ride, handling, responsiveness.
