what psi? tire light came on.

justininhifi · 02-20-2008, 12:18 AM

Hey guys. I just got my car this past Saturday and it came with 17" EP-R5's. 3 days after I got it the low inflated tire light came on.

I checked the psi on the tires and it was about 27-30 all the way around. The rims came with Kumho Ecsta ASX size 215/45/17, if I recall correctly.

Anyway, the max psi is 50 and I was curious what a good psi to use daily. I have it at 40 now and the light is off on the gauge. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

40 sounds good..

if you are willing to deal with more noise/vibration/harshness i'd say go with the max cold psi...you will most likely see a boost in fuel economy
