Supra got new rubber for the first time in 10 years, now with pics of the Supra

Also, make sure you remove the sticker on the tread

Hoping for it to wear off is dangerous (I remember a tire place being sued years ago because it caused an accident)

Those old tires were DONE awhile back!:aigo:



Glad to see you getting fresh rubber! The BS Potenza Pole Positions are great tires. I've run a couple sets of the RE960AS PP's on my Solara and Supra.

On the pressure, are you sure it doesn't say "40 psi MAX to SEAT TIRE?"

I run my tires at 40~42 psi and have for YEARS. (I believe MAX is 50psi on these)


These are quiet, ride GREAT and have fantastic rain traction in the first 60% of tread life. (Some hydroplane at over 70~80 after that...)


ENJOY!


PS: ALWAYS do the alignment after new rubber.

hmm perhaps youre right about the 40psi to seat tire. Im running 33psi cold and when the tires get hot its 36psi. I figured this should be fine. I remember seeing something on the tire that said max 50psi i THINK not 100% sure.

Lol poodles of course i took the sticker off.

As far as the alignment, it doesnt seem that bad. If i let go of the wheel it goes straight and maybe a few seconds later will slowly drift to the right. However im getting it done Tuesday afternoon by my buddy at the Toyota dealership for $20.

Damn Crisp! How did you get that super low shot.

Derek I know I'm on my 12th set of tires.:evil2:

Stock tires size = stock PSI

So what PSI should I inflate to if my tires (17in rims) say max 50 psi? Or do u need more info to answer that?

 

[johnathan1]

There should be a sticker in the glovebox that tells you the inflation pressures, IIRC.

Now with new pics!

of course for pre89 lovers

Engine bay shot a little dirty.

I asked around about the tire pressure between 32-40 is ok depending on driving conditions. So i have mine at 33.5 cold.

If your wheels and tires are of a different size than stock, then you'll have to play around with pressures...

Why does every TD06 i see not have a heat shield over the ex side of the turbo?

The heat shield needs to have that piece trimmed off to fit, im going to do it in the coming weeks. Previous owners didnt do it so they had the oil line snaking around stuff it bugged me. The horn bent forward? Eh i though it was supposed to be like that, my only guess is when the previous owners took off the hood he hit it.

wow! your car is super clean. looks great!

btw, i like your "rocky" shadow in pic 2

Well aware it needs to be trimmed. I did it with snips.
