Default Nitto 450's....correct PSI?

My previous pair of rubber, Parada Spec 2's, lasted 3 months. 3 months. This is due to bad alignment and over inflation (40 PSI), but I dont want the same thing happening to these...So im goin to get my camber/alignment fixed tmrw...Im running 35 PSI for now to be safe, should I go lower?

I keep mine at 30 PSI.

Dude get rid of those tires. They are the ******* worst I've ever had. I must've been stoned or drunk when I bought them.

they just aren't as grippy as most. like in my gsr, if i floor it in first gear from like a 10 mph roll (like 3-4k rpm) they just start spinning, i never have this prob with the bridgestones. They don't have the cornering stability of the bridgestone's either.

amen

Also their wet traction is horrible. I've driven a car with Azenis through pouring rain and had better traction.

**** NITTO

I bought a set of wheels with the NT450's and those focking things almost killed me. I replaced them with T1S and the car was 100% better in the wet and dry.

Nankangs, Kumho 712s, and even the BFG Euro T/A's all grip better than the 450s.

Stock specs call for 35psi in the 195/55-15 tires. It seems to work well for 205/50-15 also.

i didn't stop and read all these posts, but the 450's are chit...however th neo gen's and 555 are nice tires......

on the air pressure topic....if you have slightly wider tires then your wheel is meant for run about 26-30 psi to ensure full tread contact........if stock sizes or width go ahead and run 30 or more

I hate mine. I was thinking about writing a letter to nitto voicing my concern about how shity these tires are. I really cant remember how the hell I ended up with them.
