I have a 97 RL (std rims) and am not sure what to set the tires at. Here is waht I see:

a) Door Panel: F 29 R 29

b) Owners Manual: F31 R29

c) Various Web Posts: F31 - 42 R 29- 32

d) Dealer: F 32 R 32

Ideas?

 

30 to 32 psi seems to be ideal. Anything less or more will result in premature tire wear.

 

true story....everyone will tell you a range, i.e. 34 - 60 PSI, but no one will tell you exactly where you should have it at....nobody wants to assume liability, including the tire mfg...so you will have to try differenent psi's and see whats best for you. I had mine set for 34 all fours but then i recently had a bulletsized hole on my sidewall....not sure if that had anything to do with it.

 

I agree that you'll get numerous comments on this issue. I'd just go with the manufacturers recommendation (odd though the difference between the owners manual and the door jam). Don't forget to allow for the winter temperatures (if you live in a place that actually has winter) and you fill your tires in the garage (tires lose about one psi for each 10 degree drop in temp.).
