What air pressure do you run in your 205/45r16 ? I just got these tires and i was wondering what everyone kept their pressure at, so i can get an idea of what to set mine at. By the way the car is a 99 civic si.

 

I don't have that size, but know someone who does, he runs about 36 in the front and around 30 in the rear.

 

A good guide to start will be the panel on the inside of your driver's side door or the owner's manual. After that, you can raise or lower the pressure to whatever you find gives you the best combination of ride/handling/even treadwear.

As a general rule, regardless of wheel or tire size or type, the best place to start is with the pressure recommended for your CAR, as shown in your owner's manual and on your car either on the door jamb or glove compartment door. Measure the pressure when the car has been sitting for several hours out of the sun, at the outside temperature at which the car will be used. Adjust from there in 2 psi increments as needed, based on tire wear and your preference for handling and/or ride comfort.

Do NOT set the pressure to the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of your tire.</TD></TR></TABLE>
