i just got my azenis put on today, but i still spin like crazy in first. i haven't messed with the tire pressure or anything so do
you think that discount tire put to much air in them? they aren't hookin up for ****. could it be that they are brand new with
like 8 miles on them and i need to break them in a little or what. what psi should i set the front tires at?

thanks,

look aroudnt he tire really good you should see it. i have mine at 39 mines arent azenis though. they are some jdm yokos... 205/50/15

i run 30F 29R.

why dont you do what the rest of us do and read the wall of the tire... then u take a tool called a tire pressure gauge...and you push it on ur valve stem...and that number should match the number on the wall of the tire... lazy ***
- here is a tip its the number with *psi* behind it

B_1_8_hatch

i'm not lazy you dumbass, i'm seeing what other people put theirs at to figure out what psi works best with these tires.

ive got azenis ST115 s on my car and ive got them at 38 psi for normal hiway driving..6 psi s less for more aggressive driving

eg_nezay

are u talking bout dragging psi? or just street?

B_1_8_hatch

for racing. what i've heard most so far is that i have to put some miles on them for them to really start getting sticky.

the azenis arent a drag tire, they have a VERY stiff sidewall (for autox and road course racing) so id say about 23 psi and start playing with it from there, if you bog, go higher, if you still have bad wheelspin go lower.

do NOT run that pressure on the street tho.

B_1_8_hatch

would the yokohama es100's be better?

yea those tires get much better once u get a few miles on them

That should help.

Drag: 20psi
AutoX: Different psi on every tire depending on track, just playing around; 20-30 psi. Fronts should have less. Duh, front wheel drive.

BTW, not all gauges are accurate. Get a good one, don't cheap out.

Those are the tire I want, how do you like em' so far.

eg_nezay

for dragging ,, I always had them at 25psi. Got 2.2s everytime

wHOAlly

i wouldnt brag if i were you...

for drag at the track ~25-20 psi is good, depends on conditions and temperatures

Hrm... I wasn't going to reply to this thread, but changed my mind.

The quote above should not be overlooked. A GOOD tire gauge is worth it's weight in gold IMHO. Maybe it's because of my SCUBA diving experience; I dunno, but, I've learned the value of owning good gauges, and tend to take it for granted. I can't believe the POS that some ppl use...

Accugage makes the best tire gauges, and they don't cost that much; about 20 bones each. You'll want the dial indicator style. They have a brass-geared movement and a swiveling/angled chuck. Forget the push-button bleed valves, hose extensions, digital read-outs, and all that horsesh!t, but MAKE SURE you get the protective rubber boot, even if you have to buy it seperately. This is what they look like:



When you buy a tire gauge, or ANY guage for that matter, remember that it will be MOST accurate in the middle of its range. For instance, a 0-100 psi guage will be most accurate at 50 psi. The further you get away from the middle of the range, the more inaccurate reading you will get.

Personally, I get by with two different air pressure gauges. I own a 0-15 psi gauge for motorcycle/ATV racing, and a 0-60 psi for cars/trucks. If you're into bicycles, you'll probably want a 0-100 psi gauge too.

What pressure do I run in my CiViC? 35 psi in all 4 corners. I check them every week in the summer, and every 2 weeks in the winter.

doesnt matter for daily drive but what works best for me in autox is 40 in the back and 38 in the front,.

Something NOBODY has said is that you do NOT go by the number on the side of the tire. That's the maximum cold inflation pressure for the maximum weight rating. Tire pressure varies for car, temperature, and tire. If they're OEM sized tires, go by whatever it says in your glovebox. If they're not OEM sized, do the shoe polish test.

tim anto

yea they put that number on the sidewall just for ***** and giggles, dont go by it...

go ahead..under inflate your tires on your everyday ride... when your tires blows out and kills someone else on the road becuz you believe that since you have nice new underinflated tires you can take bends at 95mph, i hope you're happy...

yes i am an *******

Loco Honkey

I was thinking along the lines of an uneducated *******. Care to prove what I said about tire pressure wrong? If not, don't be a ********.

Mike P.

And you have also failed at contributing a single piece of good, accurate information in this thread. The number on the sidewall is a maximum cold pressure. There's no need to run pressures that high on the street (or on a racetrack, for that matter) unless you have the car really loaded up.

civicgsr93

Azenis is not a drag tire!!!!! It will spin either way you do it, unless you do a massive burnout

I don't know what pressure he recommended, but you aren't going to get a consensus on this issue. There are too many variables.

Let's take ATV racing as an example. When I'm desert racing, I run 5-7 psi in my rear tires, but when I motocross, I bump it to 40 psi. I know this is an extreme example, but that's the way it is. Racing on rocks 'n' sand is a lot different than double-jumping 'table tops', you know?

Now, let's say this is an ATV web board instead of Honda Tech. Someone asks, "What is the best pressure to run in my tires?" How would you answer it???

Depends on the situation...

rainmanEK

I run ~ 28psi Front and 30-31psi Rear

Tell me about this "shoe polish test."
