sorry guys, I had to start another thread... I couldn't get a straight answer on previous threads.

what pressure are you guys running with 20 inch rims?

I'm always running 30 PSI front, 32 PSI rear. What do you guys think? Is that bad for the tires? the rims?

I'm running 36-38 all around depending on the climate on Toyo T1-R's . Summertime I'll do 36 due to the heat causing the pressure to rise slightly.

Cool. I'll run it at 36 too. Thanks. Looks like your'e the only one with 20s who pump their tires. Everyone else must be running flat.

Wow... I put it at 41-42 psi... With Falken 452 tires... I hear from a bunch of people that's about right for 20's...

hey nigxdoof

I'm used to pumping it at 30/32... Really low... Then when your thread said you're running it at 42. I wanted to make sure what exactly was the right number. Thats why I started this thread. So I guess I'll go with somewhere in between these two numbers. 38 max.
