Default tire pressure?

Hello all, just recently my s2000 has started to pull to the left when I hit the gas and to the right when I push in the clutch to change gears. Also, when I am at low speeds, the cars seems to almost bounce down the road. I think it is the back right tire but I am not sure. Could this just be a tire pressure or balance issue or is it something more serious? What should the tire pressure be? My car is a MY00 with 40K and I have Nankang 225/40R18 all the way around. Thanks for the help.

Ihave had that problem twice. The first time the air pressures were not equal. I actually had a leak in one side. Once I got the leak fixed and the pressures the saem (32 PSI BTW), the motion stopped. Now it is happeneing again, but just a little. The pressures are the saem , but the tires I now have on were not purchased at the same time so I hope it is just a difference in circumferance or build quality. If not, it could be a problem with my diff. I am hoping it's the tires.

The tire pressure should be on the driver side door panel.

I had a similiar problem recently.. I got out of a store and noticed my back right tire was really low.. and I just decided to drive home and it was pretty terrible because the potenza was brand new not even 1000 miles on it yet, and It couldnt be fixed because the nail which was on it was on the out wall.. So i had to buy a brand new one... should be at 32psi.

I drove home on it on 2 psi ..YIKES

get the balance checked and make sure your tire pressures are equal, 32psi when the tires are cold (not driven on). Cheaper tires tend to require more weights/balancing to get right.
