Lol, just playing I've seen people riding around with 90psi in their 44psi tires...

235/55/17's. When I got them installed, they inflated them to 40psi! It rode like a rock. I dropped them down to 32.

FYI

Although this is known by most people, tire pressure will vary roughly 1 PSI for every 10 degrees F change in tire temperature. If you had 32 PSI all around during a hot, 90 degree day, you'd be at about 28 PSI on that cool 50 degree morning. Of course, this doesn't apply (near as much) to tires filled with nitrogen.

18", 255 rears and 245 fronts, I run the fronts at 35-38 and the rears from 38-40. I just like the way it handles with the little bit more air, feels way more stable on corners.

255's up front @ 34
295's outback @ 31

Anything over 34 lbs seems bonejarring.

. . .because a nitrogen fill station will provide "dry" N2 gas, vs the higher moisture content you get with undried or poorly dried compressed "regular air".

Not because nitrogen has any (magic?) properties that come alive at 95% or higher fill station concentration that aren't there at its 78% or so content in "regular air".

If it's free, fine.

20's.. Cooper RS3 tires. 275/35Z

I am definately a fan of 32psi. When I had my tires Road Force balanced, the guy filled them to 40psi. On the drive home I felt like I was floating. That is NOT... a good feeling to have while going 65..lol So I dropped them to 32 all around. The low tire pressure light comes on for about 10 seconds every time I start my car now though.
