Tire Pressure for Pilot Super Sports on Daily Driver

[Doc Vegas]

Guys: What PSI are you running on your Michelin Pilot Super Sports? I am have the 19 front 20 rear, for pressure, install guys had them around 30 psi. Seems kind of low against their max rated 50 psi.

What'ya running??? Thanks

I run 35 in the front 32 in the rear. Anything less than 25 psi and your TPMS light will be illuminated.

Damn, I guess they had it right. I went up to 45 PSI since I had nothing better to do while I was trying to install my HE. So, 30's are right for getting maximum tire wear? That's why I am looking for 95% of the time.

You don't want to inflate them to what the tire is rated for, you want to be closer to the recommendations on the driver side door jam. It state 35 all around. As Catmonkey said, you can run a bit less in the rear for better traction.

If you have them all blown up to 45, you're probably going to have uneven wear.

OK - much appreciated. The installer had them right, I should have known.... thanks!

35 for best wear, 30 if you want a little better bite on the rears.

32 psi in all four for even tread wear across the full width of the tires.

I've always ran and heard that 32 psi is the magic number for daily driving. I've always had great wear.

I ran 28-30 in mine but had the dreaded wobble so I pulled them off.
