Hello guys, last week I F#$#%% UP one of my rear tires, because I didn't pay attention to the flat tire warning light, since tires are short you can't notices that they are low, it was a pain to get a hold of one, since bridgestone is not making anymore.
can someone help me out to get a good tire pressure for my size of tires 275/30/19 rear and 245/35/19 front.. I have 32psi front and 35psi rear , don't know if I am wrong I think they have to be at 32F-38psiR correct me if im wrong..
thanks a lot

AFAIK I think 32-38 psi F/R is correct as what the manual recommended... I'm a bit on the higher side 35-40 psi to protect the wheel...

be careful not to go up any higher other wise youll get uneven tread wear straight down the middle and your sidewalls will look fine. Dont over inflat them
Which bridgestones did you have?

I think I remember C stating he runs 40 psi all around on his wheels for protection...
when I was searching around for recc'd psi's on here with 166's/19" wheels/tires in general...
the set ups I've found were 32/35, 34/38, and 38/42
34/38 is nice and in the middle...but i like 38/42 for the protection just in case...

I use 35/38. I used to run higher but did wear out the middle of the first set of Conti Sports. The Goodyears now seem to be wearing evenly.
