Good to know on the fronts...the chart on my car recommends 30 psi for the tires I'm running (fully loaded). Do you still think I will sustain rim damage?

My '03 S chart says 29 front 36 rear for all sizes. I'm running 32/36 with 18's and find it handles and rides very well. I bump the fronts 4 lbs and the rear 2 lbs for autocross. I haven't done a DE in this car so I don't know what I'll set them at but I'll use my 17's for the track anyway.

My '02 has a manual/handbook that says 29 front, 34 in the rear, regardless of the mfr. I've been using that as a guide with no problem and a smooth ride for the daily drive. BTW, I have a set of Michelin Pilots. Hope this helps.

Hi,

It all depends upon the condition of your roads. Up here, PotHoles are a way of life until July so I run them a little higher - better safe than sorry, especially since it's a $300+ mistake if you're wrong...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
