What do you guys suggest as a tire pressure (cold) for "spirited" street driving? Front and rear for a CL Type S, thanks in advance.

 

go by the sticker on the car, not by the tire, the same size tire may fit other cars, the posted psi on the decal is calculated by weight of the vehicle and handling

 

put the fronts 2-3 pounds higher than the rear. youll eliminate understeer

since you rotate your tires you wont get uneven wear

i keep about 32-35 psi all around

 

I keep mine at 35psi on all 4 stock tires. The handling is pretty good w/o a harsh ride.

 

My dealer, at delivery, told me to keep 32 in the front and 34 in the rear. I've had no problems with that but have to remember to switch the pressures when the tires are rotated. The tires have been excellent about keeping their pressure.

 

Why higher in the rear?

 

They did say why but I forget (I bought it in May '00). I have also looked on the Michelen web site and their recommended tire pressure for our car is 32/32. I haven't experienced any problems with the front tires at 32 on the CL-S and at my last service, the tech said I should get another 22K out of them (50K miles total).

 

I use 34 and 34. Rides fine.

 

try this...at the SOLO races coming up next month on Long Island, they tell u to pump up tire presure to between 40 and 45...my question is if i have to drive 10 miles on the highway to get to the races, what r the chances that all 4 tires will burst by the time i get there??

 

I go 35psi all around.

 

32/32 with 31K miles and a good 20K to go before the Toyo Proxies !

 

If you are talking stock, then some folks were running a higher pressure in the front (like 34-35PSI).

I have Toyos and run 39-40PSI. The wear is good and I've tried other pressures for "fast" driving up in the twisties, in the rain, and in other conditions -- the 39/40PSI combo seems to be the best for the Toyos...

BTW -- the Toyos are rated for 50 PSI max, so YMMV
