saggy tires??

When I look at my front tires, they appear that they are a little low. I have used multiple tire gauges and they all read 32 psi...right where they are recommended to be. Why, if they are at the right pressure, do they look a little saggy/underinflated? My car only has around 1500 miles on it too. btw, they are the stock tires.

Yeah, the stock Michelins always look a bit saggy. Most people here would recommend going about 2-3 lbs over the recommendation of 32/30.

The front tires will always look a bit flatter than the rear on a FWD car b/c there is more weight up front. About 60% up front and only 40% in the rear. This is normal.

I once stupidly put like 38 / 36 in my CLS tires because those things always looked saggy like a bulldog's scrotum. The damn tires popped bubbles like gum.

Don't forget about the fact that it is entirely possible to get there with the heat of driving on them or sitting in traffic.

Soft tire sidewall. Like someone already mentioned, just put couple more psi in the tires.

my car is the same way and it drives me nuts. MY bro has a 350Z and eveery day he pulls up next to me and says "Yo, your tires are leaking" Drives me insane. I almost feel like overinflating them so they dont look crappy. Only the front tires though. the backs are fine
