Any one know the air pressure setting for Falken Zeix 512 15 inch tires . They say high pressure on sidewall , i went to the Falken website and got no pressure info. Any Help from Tire People or someone running them or in the know. THANKS

 

It is on your door jamb.
No tire manufacturer will tell you what psi you should have in your tires.
That is the job of the car manufacturer.

 

The Label on the Tire Sidewall says 51 psi MAX , and the Car says 35 psi Tire Pressure . I was thrown by the high pressure on the Sidewall . I guess i will run the pressure on the door label . Thanks

 

the door jam/manual spec is for OEM tires only.

if it's 50psi max, go lower like 5 psi.

false.
the door jam spec is for tire to weight info

the max tire on the sidewall of a tire is the maximum pressure the tire can hold. it doesnt mean thats the pressure you should put in.

i work at a tire shop, and for hondas acuras i put in 32 psi.

32 is good enough for your application.

and btw i have the same tires, 205 50 15 falkens on my car, i have them at 29.

 

Thanks i will keep them at 30 or 32 psi depending on how the ride feels . How do you like your Falkens .

i like them, theyre a decent tire. i wouldve liked the michelins, but theyre just too expensive.

i got mine for a very good deal tho. i got them for 30 dollars a tire.
pricematching is your friend.

 

I payed $50.00 each with shipping at Discount tire Direct . com I like your deal better . I had a Michelin Sport tire from Sears Auto on the car . I think only the Bridgestone Potenza tire comes close to the Falken Zeix 512 and there almost double the price. Thanks for the Information big help .

 

The ZIEX 512's are one of the best all-season performance tire. I've had 3 sets of these each lasted at least 45k miles and I will keep using them until they come out with a better technology. It is also one of the few tires that are made & actually being used in Japan.

For tire psi you should really refer to the door jamb for the best possible ride. You can adjust the tire pressure depending on how soft or stiff you want it to ride but this might affect premature tire wear. If you upgraded your wheels +1 or +2 you should definitely adjust your tire pressure to a higher psi for better handling.

The MAX psi on the tire indicates the maximum load each tire can support with that air pressure.

Drive with this much psi and notice how your tires wear on the center.

under inflate them and youll wear them from the inside of the tire too where you cant see.
check air pressure regularly and rotate your tires for best performance and longevity out of your tires

 

Thanks- JS auto Create , I + oned the tire and wheel package so i will probably have to modify the stock PSI by a few Pounds . I can't wait to run the tire on the car and hope to get 50000 miles or so wear , i am a freak for Tire Rotation and checking air pressures. I just put new Bilstein HD shocks and H&R Sport springs on the car , and i am putting a set of Suspesion Teqniques Sway Bars on this month . With the Falkens, the handling and control should be much improved .
