ASPEC Rim Inflation level?

I was wondering what you inflate your 18" ASPEC's tires to? I only have the door sill label for the stock 17's, and was wondering what it should be for the 18's. I usually run my tires a tad high (like 36 PSI) but was wondering what the official F/R numbers are...

thanks!
Jeff

NASA...he said he has an Aspec, meaning they probably changed his door label to reflect what the OEM 18's would take.

I used to run 18's at 44 all around. Hard but less rolling resistance. PS...look at the max load...on normal tires it's 44 MAX...on low pros, it's 50. Increase/decrease as you see fit within that limit.

Unless you're on OEM rubber with the correct door placard, start at 30psi and work your way up until you get it right.

My old tires in the same size but different brand were run at 42psi. My new Nitto NT05s seem to like 30 cold and 34 hot. At 37psi they were wearing the center out too quickly. My old tires looked underinflated at that psi.

The moral of the story is once you put on non factory rubber, you just have to experiment to find what's best.
