tire psi?

[mondojackal]

what psi do you run in your low profile tires?

[N9netwoAccord]

40 psi...

sometimes 35... nothing more or less then those two pressures

[mondojackal]

same here..i try to keep them between 39 and 40 psi

[InvaderTrax]

I bet you guys have some traction problems

[N9netwoAccord]

no not really... only in the rain.. my tractions fine

[PRIMOCB7]

32 psi. anything more will make the ride alot more uncomfortable and cause some traction problems, especially putting in close to 40psi.

i use to run 32. then when i got my alignment they bumped it up to 35. the car rides alot better. but when i do autocross its goes up to at least 44.

[hpaccord91]

i run my low pros at 44psi

[VBaccord24]

i have the bfgoodrich g force sports and run them between 38-40 psi daily driving not racing. they grip like crazy. the ride is better altho i still have stock struts and springs

[mondojackal]

i run my low pros at 44psi

thats the max rated psi, you know, right?

[mondojackal]

32 psi. anything more will make the ride alot more uncomfortable and cause some traction problems, especially putting in close to 40psi.

hmm..weird, cuz you and i have the same wheel size and tires. i had them at like 35, but the tires weren't wearing in the middle, like at all. so i bumped the psi up. an di dont have traction problems at all. i have a slipping clutch and i cant even spin my tires. maybe barely if i dump it and turn. haha.
ona different note, do you suppose that the part of my wheels between the tire beads is flatter and so the volume is decreased causing the reading to be different? idk about that kinda pressure stuff.

44! its my tires recomended PSI

btw my tires are 45mm tall

[Ralphie]

Hmm didnt see the low pro in there but i got 195/65/15 dare i say...i think thats right...and i run 32-35 cuz thats what the specs call for and it rides smooth!

how does PSI affect traction?
im thinking of running around 35 psi on my 205 55 15's, looking for more input

[Losiracer2]

i used to work for discount tire and we always set low pro tires 17 in and above to about 35 psi. if they are stock wheels and tires, then just go by what the sticker says on the door or the door pillar. Accords should be 32psi. Also do NOT exceed the max psi on the tire, that can cause a blowout and/or tread separations at high speed. But running 32-35 psi on our cars is usually whats recommended or suitable.
