i was just wondering, people with this size tire, what tire pressure are you running?

I'm running the tire pressure that's stamped on the door.

32 psi front, 29 psi rear... I didn't know you're supposed increase the pressure??

Ryan - what you're saying makes sense. I work with bicycles everyday, and I was trying to apply your view to bicycle tires. I put 45lbs of air into a mountain bike tire (wide tread, tall sidewall), and the tire is pretty frickin hard. Then I put the same 45 lbs of air into a road bike tire (narrow tread, thin sidewall), and that tire is almost flat. Mountain bikes usually take between 35-45 lbs of pressure, whereas a road bike takes between 95-120 lbs. I know that comparing bikes to cars is like apples and oranges, but it would be interesting to know if maybe there is anything in common between the two comparisons. Comments, anyone??

u want more air pressure ina thinner side wall to keep from hurting your wheels and more air pressure provides a stiffer tire for corners, as long as u dont bloat the tire and make a flat tire round...

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

there's alot of things to factor into tire pressure. there's a book that has all the information printed out for you. most good shops will have one. tirerack might even sell it. i forget what it's called but the sales people always check it when one of us gets confused.

for this size i'd say no less then 35. the only exception to the rule that i can think of is yokohama parada's. they say 35psi max. unless the tire says otherwise you shoul dreally run between 35-42.
