Tire pressure

[Chevy Dave]

I have new P225 70 15 radials on my big block SS. What are you guys using for tire pressure?

[Dtret]

I run the standard 32. Same size tires 

[cny first gen 71]

I run 26 in mine, 235-60-15 front 255-60-15 rear I may bump it up to 28 before I start driving this year. That is if spring ever gets here we've had snow which means more salt on roads for the past few days. Was supposed to make an appearance at a eclipse event but unless we have rain instead of snow that may not happen.

I also run 32 on 4 corners.

On a side note when I "raced" at the track and I was doing it with my "street" tires I raised the fronts to the max that is written on the sidewall. The rears I kept the same at 32.

As Dennis said, for the tire sizes you have Dave, at all 4 corners, I'd probably run 32 psi as well.

My other cars that have bigger/wider tires in the back, I'll usually run those around 24-26. That's based on doing a couple burnouts to see if the contact patch is even.

Driveway sealcoat. lol.

My 55/245 /17” the recommended psi was 34

Thanks guys for the info. I am going to stay with 32.

But officer, I was just doing a safety  check to make sure I have the correct tire pressure.

Cleaning the old rubber off the tires so it's not so slippery/dangerous.

This is in the other building.

I don't have that. Just a heavy right foot.

They are all real cars, just some faster than others

That’s not what I meant. lol. 😆

I overinflate rears to 60 psi so even light pokes of the loud pedal results in copious amounts of smoke. 

Kidding of course, but that’s what some clown in high school did with his ‘65 Malibu. Aahhhh… the good ol’ days.
