Just wanted to see the consensus of the majority here... I don't know but it maybe it's just me... Whenever I give my TL a stare down, I keep asking myself if my front tire are under inflated, or it is just an illusion in my head...
When I took the car to Costco, (since that's where the tires were bought) the air pressure checked out to be ok at 32psi all around... but then again, the "looks" of it suggests otherwise...
For the purpose of this post, my tires are Bridgestone Serenity Plus on OEM size... Not sure if this "illusion" is caused by a soft sidewall on the tire... or is the front end of the car that heavy that it puts so much load on the tires....

I just wanted know if anyone who owns a 2g notices the same thing I do...

BTW, the tires are only 2 yr old with 10/32 tread all-around... no punctures or air leaks whatsoever...

 

Engine in front, more weight in front, tire is compressed.

Simple

 

yup, I get the weight factor... maybe I am just too vain and could not accept that fact that it looks "uneven"... maybe it has something to do with the tire construction... comparing to another TL in my community, my front tire looks more "compressed" in the front than theirs... at least I know my air pressure is even across and no air leaks... just wondering if anyone here has the same observation as I do...
If I am to look at other cars, like my Odyssey, the front tires "looks" evenly inflated (although it is when checking for pressure)...

 

CP13, apparently we have all of the same "problems". Yes, my fronts also look compressed and it bothers me too. It doesn't matter if there's new tires, rotated around, etc. The fronts always appear a little deflated even though the tire pressure measurement is OK. Maybe we can fill the front a little higher than 32?

 

Check tire pressure and call it a day! This is common and is completely normal!

 

I run higher pressures, like at least 34. It looks a little better and IMO rides and handles better.

 

It's not that simple, just because there is more weight in front doesn't mean those tires have to look compressed. There are plenty of cars that weigh more than the TL and the tires don't look flat when inflated properly. I've had several people tell me they think I have a flat tire. Lame.

 

Not all tires are the same. Some have softer sidewalls than others some have firmer. Bump the PSI up to 34-36 and see if that helps out some. It will also help in the handling and MPG. I ran the stock tires no less than 36 psi

 

I will try that in the fronts... hopefully it won't affect the wear that much... I got some people from work telling me my front tires are flat but checks out to be in spec for air pressure... I think the Bridgestone mounted have a softer sidewall than most...

 

Yes, my 03 TL front tires look under inflated but I run 34psi and check regularly. I agree its got something to do with forward weight bias with TL. Maintain proper psi and your good.
