    Im wondering what do you guys fill your tires up to? All my tires are at 30 psi.

    Do you switch up your PSI for summer and winter? Like summer you may do 33psi and winter you only run 30psi.

    :nice:

    Heres a article i just ran across- http://www.geocities.com/eaallred/tirepressure.html

    I'm glad I have one of those portable electric air stations. They are really handy. When I did'nt have one, I would go to those gas stations and their air stations never worked right. :nonono:

    i got 35 in the back right now... and its sticking good.. i need to get teh front up to 35... im sure that if you went into the mountains 36-37 psi would be even better.

    Im scared to bump my front right tire up to 35. Some ******* was coming to close to my car and i tried to duck and hit the damn curve on my front right tire. Poped my tire and bent my rim. I need a new rim, but its holding perfectly right now. My right front tire is @ 30 now, but im afriad to bump that one up to 35 since my rim is bent on the lip and on the inner lip. ;[

    Why are you guys running 35psi??

    WIth a 245 tire and the Mustang's weight, Ford recommends 30 psi.

    I run 30 psi all the time and get nice even wear. When i go on long highway drives on dry roads i air up the tires to 35-38 psi to minimize rolling resistance but lower them back down to 30 psi when i get back to driving on main roads.

    Between 30 - 35.

    Right now I have 33 up front and 32 in the rear. This is my ideal. I have very even tire wear, at 42,000km on stock tires with a severely lowered suspension.
