    Question H Rated touring Tires vs Z rated Hi-Perf

    Just went to a touring tire from a speed rated tire...anyone have a good tire pressure for an iL with Non-Staggered 18 x 8.5's?
    Seems OK at 36 R and 35F, any others out there with a similar set up?

    Thoughts?

    Thanks-

    Cool

    Check the manufacturer's specs (either on the tire or at Tire Rack) and try something in the middle of the range.

    Then experiment, maybe 2 PSI at a time, until you like what you have...

    thanks Reed, good thought...I know max load is 44psi
    and the door jamb suggests 37-32 for the oem 16's

    Looking for the working numbers out there...
