Tire pressure

[supraman7mgte]

Just remember that you need to check the tires cold,say on a 40 psi tire,and it reads at 36lbs,your fine.
Driving around will cause friction which in turn will cause your tires to increase in psi,why I don't know.

yeah it gets prety cold here.. 35psi will be safe either way

friction=heat and the more heat the more pressure.

Are the tires the same tread pattern?

I keep mine at 33 Front and 35 Rear. Toyo's reccomendation. Keep in mind they are very soft tires that get very warm and no doubt make a little more heat to up the pressure than in a normal everyday street tire.

 

[mtx911]

no their was more wear on the outer tire than inner obviously they were low on pressure seems is good i did 35 all around

 

[mtx911]

Why do i have so much resistance from the left side of the car, i took the front left off and and it stopped pulling to the left i threw on a spare their,, and now it fuckn pulls to the right ,, and still goddamn shimmys like theirs no tmrw , tires are old n shity is that wats causes this??

 

[hvyman]

yes. bad tires can make the car pull. along with alignments, rack bushings, tie rod ends....

 

[mtx911]

i cheked the tie rod ends and the only play i found where the swivel which i think their supposed to do, i lifted car and did the tire check and their was no loseness their.
steering rack bushing i head cud be it but i havent checked or really even kno how..

 

[hvyman]

ya if you switch the front tires and it pulls the other way or gets better its usually the tires.

 

[mtx911]

when they do alignments they adjust your tie rods right?
anything else?

 

[supraman7mgte]

If you have mixed treads on your car,you might suffer road noise,pulling and vibration at the wheel.

 

[hvyman]

that is for the toe adjustment and to make your wheel striaght.

camber and caster is also adjusted.

 

[mtx911]

yea my caster is badly off on both fronts..

 

[mtx911]

and camber to.. need to take it in..
